Context is important
Social touch (through
technology) as a design
method for haptic wearables.
Design exercise
Design an interaction with an app for a haptic wearable.
Use paper, post-its, markers for sketching the interaction.
Design affective haptics: use hardware kits for prototyping
But also think about: warmth, force, texture, etc.
CASA: social touch and haptics
Who touches?What is the role/function of the app?
Why touch? What is the function of the touch?
How is the touch applied?What is felt? Duration, intensity, etc.
Where on the body? Socially acceptable, intimate, etc.
What is the context? Private, on the go, etc.
Some suggestions
Affective haptic calendar notifications
Social touch integrated in social media
Enrich touching storytelling/audiobooks
Siri/voice assistant that touches
Coaching with motivational (midas?) touch
Tips
How would you express this using real touch?
Can you use the kits to communicate emotions?
Share your findings and discuss
Thanks!
