Samsung Bangladesh, in partnership with Shuchona Foundation, launched an application ‘Look at me’ at a ceremony in the capital yesterday, says a press release. 

Saima Wazed Hossain, chairperson, Shuchona Foundation and Bangladesh National Advisory Committee on Autism & NDDs (NACAND); Ahn Seong-doo, ambassador of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea to Bangladesh; Seungwon Youn, Managing Director, Samsung Electronics Bangladesh; Wonmo Ku, Managing Director, Samsung R&D Institute Bangladesh; and  other high officials from Shuchona and Samsung were present on the occasion. 
Samsung is working with Shuchona Foundation to help children with autism with the help of technology. The ‘Look at me’ app aims to help develop communication skills in children with autism, with a view to deepening relationships with those around them. 
The app works on a mobile device to help with the communication skills by training the child to make eye contact with others and to express their feelings. This app is a harmony between technology and humanity. ‘Look at me’ was very successful in Korea and Canada, now it is launched in Bangladesh.
