“…Future research will focus on using the TaSST as a research tool for mediated social touch settings. For example, as an augmentation during telefphone, or video chat conversations [29], mediated communication through a virtual agent [1], or virtual storytelling situations [34]. With this, we hope to study how touches received through the TaSST are perceived, given differing social contexts.…”

“…The forearm was chosen because it is relatively sensitive to vibrotactile stimulation [28], easily accessible to touch, and an appropriate location for social touch to occur [13,18,19]. The concept of the TaSST is similar to ComTouch [5], ForcePhone [20], and CheekTouch [29], but includes both intensity and location as parameters, offering more degrees of freedom for touches to be communicated. Furthermore, the TaSST offers a more direct coupling between the input and output: a touch on the senders own arm will be felt on the arm of the receiver in the same location and with the same intensity.…”

“…Furthermore, we decided to place the vibration motors perpendicular to the surface of the fabric sheet. Studies suggest that placement of vibration motors in this orientation, improves the perceptibility of vibrotactile stimuli [29,31]. Intuitively this can be understood by the fact that the direction in which the eccentric mass within the motor casing moves, is towards the skin, rather than moving horizontally over the skin.…”

In this paper we outline the design process of the TaSST (Tactile Sleeve for Social Touch), a touch-sensitive vibrotactile arm sleeve. The TaSST was designed to enable two people to communicate different types of touch over a distance. The touch-sensitive surface of the sleeve consists of a grid of 4x3 sensor compartments filled with conductive wool. Each compartment controls the vibration intensity of a vibration motor, located in a grid of 4x3 motors beneath the touch-sensitive layer. An initial evaluation of the TaSST revealed that it was mainly suitable for communicating protracted (e.g. pressing), and simple (e.g. poking) touches.

“…In real-life massage, these are considered as almost fixed values, since it depends only on the characteristic of the hands of the massage giver. Here, we simulated physical displacement of the skin using vibrotactile feedback, similar to many studies that successfully use vibrotactile arrays to represent touch, e.g., [8,10,11,21,23,44]. We acknowledged that the force feedback is not successfully conveyed by our device, but our objective is not to make real-life massage possible in distance, but rather to complement video call with haptic feedback and interaction that are inspired by massage.…”

The use of tactile senses in mediated communication has generated considerable research interest in past decades. Since massage is a common practice in Asian cultures, we propose to introduce massage-based interactions in mediated communication between people in a close relationship. We designed a device for distant interactive massage to be used during online conversation and we assessed its effect on interpersonal connection with eight pairs of Chinese participants in romantic relationships. All pairs were asked to engage in a conversation, either through a video call or through a massage-assisted video call. The findings showed that the use of the massage device significantly increased the perceived emotional and physical connection between the users. The results also showed a significant increase in the engagement in the massage activity, e.g., total massage time and average force per finger, from positive conversation to negative conversation, demonstrating an evidence of the interplay between audio-visual and haptic communication. Post hoc interviews showed the potential of the massage device for long-distance communication in romantic relationships as well as in parents-children relationships.

Simulating Affective Touch: Using a Vibrotactile Array to Generate Pleasant Stroking Sensations

Gentle stroking touches are rated most pleasant when applied at a velocity of between 1-10 cm/s. Such touches are considered highly relevant in social interactions. Here, we investigate whether stroking sensations generated by a vibrotactile array can produce similar pleasantness responses, with the ultimate goal of using this type of haptic display in technology mediated social touch. A study was conducted in which participants received vibrotactile stroking stimuli of different velocities and intensities, applied to their lower arm. Results showed that the stimuli were perceived as continuous stroking sensations in a straight line. Furthermore, pleasantness ratings for low intensity vibrotactile stroking followed an inverted U-curve, similar to that found in research into actual stroking touches. The implications of these findings are discussed.
