“…The most common application contexts for social biofeedback are social play and tele-social communication (both n=14, 22% each). Social play use cases range from multiplayer virtual reality (VR) gameplay (n=5, [29-31, 45, 63]) to video gaming (n=3, [32,95,107,142]), tabletop gameplay (n=3, [2,32,40]), mobile (n=2, [71,73]) and outdoor gameplay (n=1, [87]). Use cases for tele-social communication are primarily in remote nonverbal communication (n=9, [3,41,58,65,77,91,125,133,135]), followed by text-messaging (n=4, [52,67,80,81]) and video chatting (n=1, [70]).…”

“…Overall, 37 studies (58%) designed symmetrical social biofeedback systems, 23 studies (36%) designed asymmetrical ones and four studies engineered opportunities for both. In symmetrical systems, it was most common for users to receive biofeedback about their own physiological state together with that of other users' (n=14; [2,52,54,67,70,72,73,75,77,85,95,116,119,121]). In 12 studies, users only received feedback about states of co-users and not their own [3,29,30,45,55,65,87,91,94,110,125,133], while in four studies only aggregated measures of physiology were shown to both players [83,100,107,142].…”

“…Most symmetrical social biofeedback systems were geared towards connecting dyads (n=28) with strong attachments, such as close relations [3,52,54,65,67,70,75,91,116,125] and romantic partners [65,77,110,119,133]. Such systems were also used to connect people with similar hobbies, like video gaming [45,95,107] and running [93]. Bidirectional sharing of physiological data in groups (n=8) was used mostly as a mechanic in social gameplay with friends [2,32,40,87] and during shared physical exertion with fellow athletes [85,121].…”

As an emerging interaction paradigm, physiological computing is increasingly being used to both measure and feed back information about our internal psychophysiological states. While most applications of physiological computing are designed for individual use, recent research has explored how biofeedback can be socially shared between multiple users to augment human-human communication. Reflecting on the empirical progress in this area of study, this paper presents a systematic review of 64 studies to characterize the interaction contexts and effects of social biofeedback systems. Our findings highlight the importance of physio-temporal and social contextual factors surrounding physiological data sharing as well as how it can promote social-emotional competences on three different levels: intrapersonal, interpersonal, and task-focused. We also present the Social Biofeedback Interactions framework to articulate the current physiological-social interaction space. We use this to frame our discussion of the implications and ethical considerations for future research and design of social biofeedback interfaces.CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → Human computer interaction (HCI): Interaction techniques; Interactive systems and tools; Interaction paradigms; Interaction devices; HCI theory, concepts and models.

“…Our ability to empathize, as well as ways to enhance this behavior have been the object of intensive studies in the past decades. Existing efforts include using biofeedback to enhance emotional awareness, regulation, social presence and interaction (e.g., through biofeedback collaborative video games for teenagers [18], raw biosignal streaming for couple counseling [16], augmented video recall for doctors [22], or inner state display through tangible avatars for managers [13]). Lux et al [17] offers a landscape of existing approaches.…”

Enhancing the empathy of our human interactions has been the object of intensive psychological studies for decades. The emergence of affective computing has opened the door towards technologically-enabled solutions. Yet, existing techniques struggle to attain their desired impact, often being difficult and expensive to deliver, and disconnected from daily life. Project Us' goal is to help overcome these challenges through a pair of wearable devices (in this case wristbands) that aim to trigger an empathy-enhancing effect, when being worn by two people during day-to-day conversations. The small-sized, wireless devices sense each person's electrodermal activity, associated with their level of emotional arousal, and share it to the other partner (when a threshold is exceeded) through a discreet, haptic nudge, creating a real-time feedback loop. The user study performed with 18 participants (nine romantically engaged couples) revealed that most of them found the wristbands to increase their level of awareness of the partner's emotional experience. Their interaction was analyzed based on interviews (qualitatively), and natural language processing techniques (quantitatively).
