STriVE: Social Training in Virtual Environments with augmented reality

This project was to develop an emotion reading platform, OcosenseTM, to enable social skills training and exposure response feedback using smartphone-driven AR glasses.

Uniquely, our system requires minimal processing power for rendering the whole scene, as only the anxiety-invoking virtual objects need to be displayed. We measure facial expressions (e.g. surprise/ confusion/ fear/ anger) using patent pending non-contact sensors to track facial expressions and physiological arousal (heart rate variability).
