Expressing Human State via Parameterized Haptic Feedback for Mobile Remote Implicit Communication

Published: 25 February 2016 Publication History

Abstract

As part of a mobile remote implicit communication system, we use vibrotactile patterns to convey background information between two people on an ongoing basis. Unlike systems that use memorized tactons (haptic icons), we focus on methods for translating parameters of a user's state (e.g., activity level, distance, physiological state) into dynamically created patterns that summarize the state over a brief time interval. We describe the vibration pattern used in our current user study to summarize a partner's activity, as well as preliminary findings. Further, we propose additional possibilities for enriching the information content.
