“…While the physical contact of an end-effector against the user's skin does not produce much noise, the servos themselves do, as also noted by [3]. The noise of the servos varies with their speed and torque, occasionally creating auditory cues that are more salient than the haptic cues.…”

“…7. The inspiration to build an actuator that could squeeze the user's wrist stemmed largely from the research of Baumann et al [3]. Our squeezer functions in a similar manner to theirs: one servo is mounted onto the user's wrist to lengthen and shorten a fixed-length wristband.…”

“…Many possible applications of body-grounded tactile actuators exist, some of which have already been explored in depth by other researchers. Baumann et al created prototypes of tapping and squeezing actuators that successfully emulated human attentiongetting practices in appropriately intrusive manners [3]. These particular tactors use servo motors to rotate a foam contactor into contact with the user's wrist or to contract a strap around the user's wrist.…”

“…In the broader context of human-computer interfaces, recording and playing back actions that attempt to convey a certain emotion, such as urgency or comfort, could allow easier transmission of human communications in teleconferencing, games, or virtual worlds, e.g., [13]. This goal of creating natural touch sensations inspired our objective of creating a variety of actuators that could play back actual human physical contact, expanding upon Baumann et al's work of emulating human attention-getting practices [3].…”

We present four wearable tactile actuators capable of recreating physical sensations commonly experienced in human interactions, including tapping on, dragging across, squeezing, and twisting an individual's wrist. In seeking to create tactile signals that feel natural and are easy to understand, we developed movement control interfaces to play back each of these forms of actual human physical contact. Through iterative design, prototyping, programming, and testing, each of these servo-motor-based mechanisms produces a signal that is gradable in magnitude, can be played in a variety of temporal patterns, is localizable to a small area of skin, and, for three of the four actuators, has an associated direction. Additionally, we have tried to design toward many of the characteristics that have made high frequency vibration the most common form of wearable tactile feedback, including low cost, light weight, comfort, and small size. Bolstered by largely positive comments from naive users during an informal testing session, we plan to continue improving these devices for future use in tactile motion guidance.

“…A skin-exposed location where a presentation device could be worn, the wrist is also a key site for functional social touch as observed in human-to-human [21] and device-mediated [2] interaction. Wrist-worn haptic wearables [2,6,24,41] offer insights as to construction, sensitivity, comfort, and material implications.…”

To moderate oral presentations a chair must manage time, and communicate time parameters to speakers through a variety of means. But speakers often miss time cues, chairs cannot confirm their receipt, and the broken dialogue can be a sideshow for the audience. We developed HaNS, a wireless wrist-worn chair-speaker Haptic Notification System that delivers tactile cues for time-managing oral presentations, and performed field observations at university research seminars and two mid-sized academic conferences (input from 66 speakers, 21 chairs, and 65 audience members). Results indicate that HaNS can improve a user's awareness of time, facilitate chair-speaker coordination, and reduce distraction of speaker and audience through its private communication channel. Eliminating overruns will require improvement in speaker 'internal' control, which our results suggest HaNS can also support given practice. We conclude with design guidelines for both conference-deployed and personal timing tools, using touch or another notification modality.
