Abstract

We present the Lumitouch system consisting of a pair of interactive picture frames. When one user touches her picture frame, the other picture frame lights up. This touch is translated to light over an Internet connection. We introduce a semi-ambient display that can transition seamlessly from periphery to foreground in addition to communicating emotional content. In addition to enhancing the communication between loved ones, people can use LumiTouch to develop a personal emotional language.Based upon prior work on telepresence and tangible interfaces, LumiTouch explores emotional communication in tangible form. This paper describes the components, interactions, implementation and design approach of the LumiTouch system.

Tangible Affect: A Literature Review of Tangible Interactive Systems Addressing Human Core Affect, Emotions and Moods
DIS '24: Proceedings of the 2024 ACM Designing Interactive Systems Conference

Tangible user interfaces (TUIs) have been applied to assess, communicate, or regulate human core affect, emotions, or moods. Previous studies identified TUIs as an innovative way to serve people’s affective needs. This review examines the design and ...
In the candle light: pervasive display concept for emotional communication
PerDis '16: Proceedings of the 5th ACM International Symposium on Pervasive Displays

In this paper, we present a concept design and a prototype that utilizes a candle as communication media. We present a motorized candle stand, which casts different shadows on the wall based on messages received by a mobile phone. We envision that this ...
Emotion Evoked by Texture and Application to Emotional Communication
CHI EA '15: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems

The tactile sense is direct and intuitive, and considered appropriate for communicating emotional information. It is expected that emotional communication will be richer when including the use of the tactile sense. This study focuses on textures as ...
