The virtual midas touch

CHI '08 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2008
A brief touch on the upper arm increases people's altruistic behavior and willingness to comply to a request. In this paper, we investigate whether this Midas Touch effect would also occur under mediated conditions (i.e., a text messaging system and an arm strap equipped with vibrotactile actuators).

Physical distance presents a challenge for building and maintaining relationships. With recent work showing the effectiveness of both visual and haptic feedback in supporting interpersonal touch over a distance, such technologies look to bridge this gap and improve existing communication technologies.

Does Mediated Social Touch Succesfully Approximate Natural Social Touch?

2021
Mediated social touch (MST) devices are upcoming. To date, experimentsaimed at demonstrating whether effects of naturalistic social touch can be replicated with MST provide mixed findings. A possible explanation could be a lack of realism of current haptic displays in combination with not sufficiently taking contextual factors of social touch into ...

Investigating response similarities between real and mediated social touch

CHI '07 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2007
In this paper, we investigate whether the gender differences generally found in same and opposite sex social touch are also present in mediated situations. Participants were led to believe that a male or female stranger was remotely touching them by means of a vest equipped with vibrotactile actuators.

Combining mediated social touch (i.e., interpersonal touch over a distance by means of a tactile display) with vision allows people to both see and feel their remote interaction partner’s touches. This is expected to increase the user’s sense of telepresence (i.e., the experience of "being there" in the same environment as one’s remote interaction ...

Enhancing Effect of Mediated Social Touch between Same Gender by Changing Gender Impression

This study realizes a method to enhance the effect of touch in remote same-gender communication by changing the gender impression with a voice changer during telecommunication. We focused on touch in communication. Although psychological studies have revealed that touch has various positive effects such as triggering altruistic behavior, these effects ...

Remote handshaking

Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2014
Since past studies on haptic and visual communication have tended to be isolated from each other, it has remained unclear whether a touch channel can still enrich mediated communication where video and audio channels are already available. To clarify this, we analyzed remote handshaking in which a robot hand that was attached just under a ...
