“…Shape or color change [7,20,37] can turn hair into a social display [7,20]. Positioned directly on the head, hair interfaces are also a promising means to turn tactile sensations [2,3,7] into haptic and visual notifications [7]. While hair interfaces remain relatively sparsely researched, taken together, these first works illustrate the potential of hair as an interaction space.…”

“…An applicable alternative is braiding or weaving in conductive yarn or wires [7,10,17], which, however, may affect tactile qualities and flexibility. Passive chemical treatments allow to create (body) hair that reacts to changes in a magnetic field [2,3] or temperature [37]. Extending this line of thought, chemical treatments that create hair-like conductors are promising.…”

“…Wearable V2 is designed to solve both the problem of missing haptic guidance and a stable attachment to hair. Hereby, we embedded the microcontroller within a tiny 3D-printed PLA case (2) that is attached to an elastic hair band (1,3). Straps of velcro tapes (4) make the hair band adjustable in size and a fit for all types of participants.…”

Human hair opens up new opportunities for embodied inter actions that build on its unique physical affordances and lo cation on the body. As hair has high socio-cultural signifi cance, the design of hair interfaces is coupled with social and personal needs. Albeit this makes fi eld investigations indis pensable, they are missing from prior work. We present a fab rication approach for gesture-controlled hair interfaces that are robust enough to be deployed in the fi eld. Our approach contributes sensorized feather hair extensions that combine capacitive and piezoresistive sensing. Their tactile proper ties make the interface blend seamlessly with human hair. We furthermore contribute results from a fi eld experiment where participants gained fi rst-hand experience in various so cial contexts. These show how hair-based interactions have great potential moving beyond planar touch gestures whilst their social appropriateness is context-sensitive. We synthe size the fi ndings into design implications that ground the fu ture design of usable and socially acceptable hair interfaces. l® G)This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution International 4.0 License.

“…ZeroN [14] uses an electromagnetic control system to levitate and manipulate permanently magnetic objects for mid-air tangible interaction. Using electromagnets, researchers have explored various applications, such as creating haptic interfaces (Omni [13], MAGHair [7]), providing drawing guidance (dePENd [39]), and supporting collaboration (PICO [29]). Taking inspiration from these works, we explore how programmable magnetic pixels can expand the range of applications and design space of current magnetic interfaces.…”

Fabrication PipelineMagnetic Pixels Application Use Cases a b cFigure 1: Mixels are interfaces made from programmable magnetic pixels. Users can create Mixels using our custom design and fabrication pipeline: (a) an inexpensive hardware add-on consisting of an electromagnet and hall effect sensor clipped on to a 3-axis CNC can both write and read magnetic pixels, (b) the resulting magnetic interfaces can be programmed to attract and repel only in specific configurations and are otherwise agnostic, (c) this enables a variety of applications, ranging from selectively paired yet visually identical objects, to haptics and guided assembly.

“…The project "Frisson" [6] created a spine-attached thermal band as an aesthetic prosthesis(see Figure .2.9a)to induce emotions from the body up through interoceptive technologies. Work from Fukushima et al [7](see Figure .2.9b) and "MAGHair" [47] project controls and stimulate body hair to augment the feeling of surprises and awe. Kato et al [48] simulated the feeling of bugs climbing on the skin through tactile haptic feedback to create a sensing of disgusting.…”

Frisson is a feeling and a mental experience of body reactions such as shivers, tingling skin, goosebumps. This research proposes Frisson Waves, a real-time system to detect, trigger and share frisson in a wave-like pattern during music performances. The system consists of a physiological sensing wristband for detecting frisson and a thermo-haptic neckband for inducing frisson. This project aims to improve the connectedness of audience members and performers during music performances by sharing frisson. In this thesis, we described thoroughly the literature and works related to exteroception and interoception interaction, emotion contagion, concept design process, and system development process. Results of studies proved a significant effect of triggering frisson, detecting frisson and capability of sharing frisson and primitive enhancement of connectedness in a live performance context.
