SixthSense for Autism by Tim Byrne #AR

This is an industrial design concept using Pranav Mistry's SixthSense technology. It is designed specifically for use by people with autism by Tim Byrne. Western Washington University Industrial Design Program, 2010. This is one of 13 projects done in the Junior ID studio. See our channel for more designs.


I have very little experience with people on the Autistic spectrum, but designer Timothy Byrne of Western Washington University has a brother with an autistic disorder, a fact the propelled him to invent "Sixthsense for Autism". Building upon MIT's Pranav Mistry's SixthSense technology, this conceptual project tries to provide its user social cues for everyday situations.
