Translating affective touch into sound
In an era where remote interactions are becoming increasingly common, driven by the rise of digital technologies, virtual reality, and periods of social distancing, a key question remains: how can we maintain emotional connection without physical contact? Social touch, which plays a crucial role in psychological and physiological well-being,…
Towards a new generation of multisensory haptic interfaces
While digital interfaces offer increasing quality in the visual and auditory domains, the tactile dimension is still largely under-exploited. The MAPTICS project is in line with this observation, with the aim of rethinking the role of touch in our interactions with screens. Current human-machine interfaces provide information to users…
