Abstract
This study suggests a novel method to clarify interpersonal proximity from the area occupied by a target person in the visual field. We use the size of the area as an index of interpersonal proximity to support therapeutic activities for the developmental support for children with ASD. We investigate the relationship between physical and interpersonal distance and its proximity as a sense of distance. Head-mounted camera and Mask-RCNN used as the measurement. The pilot experiment shows the possibility of measurement and experimentation in actual therapy showed a difference between interpersonal distance and interpersonal proximity.
