“…As appetitive motivation is concerned with sustenance and procreation, it may be that the stimuli we used did not relate strongly enough to these actions, whereas they had stronger associations with danger (e.g., sharp [4], fast moving). This is likely a limitation of using abstract stimuli to convey emotions, as other tactile channels have failed to represent a full range of emotions [16,22,24,34,35].…”

“…Specifically, we got measures of the perceived valence and arousal of the conveyed emotion to be able to compare to other studies that have measured emotional content in abstract vibrotactile [20,[25][26][27]35] and thermal [21,22,34] signals. With these measures we plotted all the average valencearousal values within a dimensional model of affect [19], to illustrate how all the different visual designs relate to common discrete emotions.…”

“…Thermal sensation has inherent links with emotional content and experience [11,13,33] and previous research has shown how thermal feedback might be used to convey a subset of emotions or emotional meanings [21,22,34]. To try and convey a greater range of emotions we plan to combine the visual designs with thermal feedback, which has its own inherent associations with colour: red for hot and blue for cold [10].…”

“…The data in this paper constitute the first illustration of how visual stimuli that vary in multiple parameters map to the common dimensional model of affect, and so how changing each parameter moves around the model. It forms a first step before we next separately combine these designs with 1) thermal feedback, which has been shown to convey a limited range of emotions [21,22,34] and 2) auditory affective bursts [5,17,23] to understand how to effectively combine multimodal stimuli to convey a wide range of emotions.…”

Recent HCI research has looked at conveying emotions through non-visual modalities, such as vibrotactile and thermal feedback. However, emotion is primarily conveyed through visual signals, and so this research aims to support the design of emotional visual feedback. We adapt and extend the design of the "pulsing amoeba" [29], and measure the emotion conveyed through the abstract visual designs. It is a first step towards more holistic multimodal affective feedback combining visual, auditory and tactile stimuli. An online survey garnered valence and arousal ratings of 32 stimuli that varied in colour, contour, pulse size and pulse speed. The results support previous research but also provide new findings and highlight the effects of each individual visual parameter on perceived emotion. We present a mapping of all stimulus combinations onto the common twodimensional valence-arousal model of emotion.

“…Research in HCI has looked at how certain individual modalities can convey affective information, including thermal feedback [33,34,49], vibration [27,36,53], force feedback [6,37,52] and abstract visual displays [43,44,51]. Unfortunately, research shows that the individual modalities are only capable of conveying a limited range of emotional meaning by themselves.…”

This paper explores the combination of multiple concurrent modalities for conveying emotional information in HCI: temperature, vibration and abstract visual displays. Each modality has been studied individually, but can only convey a limited range of emotions within two-dimensional valencearousal space. This paper is the first to systematically combine multiple modalities to expand the available affective range. Three studies were conducted: Study 1 measured the emotionality of vibrotactile feedback by itself; Study 2 measured the perceived emotional content of three bimodal combinations: vibrotactile + thermal, vibrotactile + visual and visual + thermal. Study 3 then combined all three modalities. Results show that combining modalities increases the available range of emotional states, particularly in the problematic top-right and bottom-left quadrants of the dimensional model. We also provide a novel lookup resource for designers to identify stimuli to convey a range of emotions.
