“…However, they cannot recreate the physical contact that is necessary to promote complete healing. Haptic feedback can effectively recreate physical contact [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Mostofa et al developed a headband haptic presentation device that provides a surrogate method of physical contact for isolated patients [ 11 ].…”

“…When the two-dimensional touch pattern is applied on the forehead of an isolated patient, the patient can feel the sensation of having their own forehead being touched. Sharing Heartbeat [ 12 ] recreates physical contact by reproducing and sharing heartbeats as haptic sensations. The heartbeat of a physically contacted user tends to synchronize with the heartbeat of the other user.…”

Recently, remote meetings and work-from-home have become more common, reducing the opportunities for face-to-face communication. To facilitate communication among remote workers, researchers have focused on virtual space technology and spatial augmented reality technology. Although these technologies can enhance immersiveness in collaborative work, they face the challenge of fostering a sense of physical contact. In this work, we aimed to foster a sense of presence through haptic stimulation using pneumatic actuators. Specifically, we developed a choker-type wearable device that presents various pressure patterns around the neck; the pattern presented depends on the message the device must convey. Various combinations of haptic presentation are achieved by pumping air to the multiple pneumatic actuators attached to the choker. In addition, we conducted experiments involving actuators of different shapes to optimize the haptic presentation. When linked with a smartphone, the proposed device can present pressure patterns to indicate incoming calls and notifications, to give warning about an obstacle that one who is texting might miss while walking, and to provide direction to a pedestrian. Furthermore, the device can be used in a wide range of applications, from those necessary in daily living to those that enhance one’s experience in the realm of entertainment. For example, haptic feedback that synchronizes with the presence of a singer or with the rhythm of a song one listens to or with a performer’s movements during a stage performance will immerse users in an enjoyable experience.

The proliferation of physiological sensors opens new opportunities to explore interactions, conduct experiments and evaluate the user experience with continuous monitoring of bodily functions. Commercial devices, however, can be costly or limit access to raw waveform data, while low-cost sensors are efforts-intensive to setup. To address these challenges, we introduce PhysioKit, an open-source, low-cost physiological computing toolkit. PhysioKit consists of (i) a sensor and hardware layer that can be configured in a modular manner per research needs, (ii) a software application layer that enables data acquisition, real-time visualization and machine learning (ML)-enabled signal quality assessment. This also supports basic visual biofeedback configurations and synchronized acquisition for co-located or remote multi-user settings. In a validation study for photo-plethysmography (PPG) sensor with 15 participants, PhysioKit shows strong agreement with research-grade PPG sensors. Furthermore, we report usability survey results from 10 micro-project teams (44 individual members in total) who use PhysioKit for 4-6 weeks, providing insights into its use cases and research benefits. We conclude by discussing extensibility and potential impact of the toolkit on the research community.
