The Virtual Midas Touch: Helping Behavior After a Mediated Social Touch

IEEE Transactions on Haptics, 2009
A brief touch on the upper arm increases people's altruistic behavior and willingness to comply with a request. In this paper, we investigate whether this Midas touch phenomenon would also occur under mediated conditions (i.e., touching via an arm strap equipped with electromechanical actuators).

Mediated social touch: a review of current research and future directions

Virtual Reality, 2005
In this paper, we review research and applications in the area of mediated or remote social touch. Whereas current communication media rely predominately on vision and hearing, mediated social touch allows people to touch each other over a distance by means of haptic feedback technology.

SqueezeBands

Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction, 2017
Mediated social touch technologies aim to transmit the sense of touch between two or more physically distributed partners. Previous work in CSCW has focused mostly on vibrotactile actuation, though there is also significant recent interest in exploring a wider variety of haptic actuation modalities.
