“…Thermal feedback in HCI may be capable of improving user experience by bridging the gap between data and their underlying social or emotional content. It has been used in HCI to convey information [1,21], improve materiality [5,16] or for communication [14,18]. However, most research has either been technological, developing new ways of providing thermal feedback [1], or perceptual, testing how well participants can detect or identify thermal stimuli [21,22].…”

Research has shown that thermal feedback can be an engaging and convincing means of conveying experimenterpredefined meanings, e.g., material properties or message types. However, thermal perception is subjective and its meaning in interaction can be ambiguous. Interface designers may not be sure how users could naïvely interpret thermal feedback during interaction. Little is also known about how users would choose thermal cues to convey their own meanings. The research in this paper tested subjective interpretations of thermal stimuli in three different scenarios: social media activity, a colleague's presence and the extent of use of digital content. Participants were also asked to assign their own thermal stimuli to personal experiences, to help us understand what kinds of stimuli people associate with different meanings. The results showed strong agreement among participants concerning what warmth (presence, activity, quality) and cool mean (absence, poor quality). Guidelines for the design of thermal feedback are presented to help others create effective thermal interfaces.

“…However, the main issue about using a Peltier element is delayed response and the prolonged time that is required to change from hot to cold state (Stephens-Fripp et al, 2018). Nevertheless, some new developments have been made by introducing Thermotactil Multimodal Display that allows to sense high temperature variations (Gallo et al, 2014).…”

Loss of an arm is a devastating condition that can cross all socioeconomic groups. A major step forward in rehabilitation of amputees has been the development of myoelectric prostheses. Current robotic arms allow voluntary movements by using residual muscle contraction. However, a significant issue is lack of movement control and sensory feedback. These factors play an important role in integration and embodiment of a robotic arm. Without feedback, users rely on visual cues and experience overwhelming cognitive demand that results in poorer use of a prosthesis. The complexity of the afferent system presents a great challenge of creating a closed-loop hand prosthesis. Several groups have shown progress providing sensory feedback for upper limb amputees using robotic arms. Feedback, although still limited, is achieved through direct implantation of intraneural electrodes as well as through non-invasive methods. Moreover, evidence shows that over time some amputees develop a phantom sensation of the missing limb on their stump. This phenomenon can occur spontaneously as well as after non-invasive nerve stimulation, suggesting the possibility of recreating a sensory homunculus of the hand on the stump. Furthermore, virtual reality simulation in combination with mechanical stimulation of skin could augment the sensation phenomenon, leading to better interface between human and robotic arms.

“…The recognition time of variation of temperature was improved by 36% on average, in comparison with using one Peltier element. Finally, a novel Thermo-tactile Multimodal Display was designed and developed [101]. The haptic device consists of a Peltier cell with two heat exchangers attached on its surfaces, for cooling down and warming up the water and collecting it in two separated containers.…”

A sense of touch is essential for amputees to reintegrate into their social and work life. The design of the next generation of the prostheses will have the ability to effectively convey the tactile information between the amputee and the artificial limbs. This work reviews non-invasive haptic feedback stimulation techniques to convey the tactile information from the prosthetic hand to the amputee's brain. Various types of actuators that been used to stimulate the patient's residual limb for different types of artificial prostheses in previous studies have been reviewed in terms of functionality, effectiveness, wearability and comfort. The non-invasive hybrid feedback stimulation system was found to be better in terms of the stimulus identification rate of the haptic prostheses' users. It can be conclude that integrating hybrid haptic feedback stimulation system with the upper limb prostheses leads to improving its acceptance among users.
