Digitally presenting physiological signals as biofeedback to users raises awareness of both
body and mind. This paper describes the effectiveness of conveying a physiological signal …

We present MagTics, a novel flexible and wearable haptic interface based on magnetically
actuated bidirectional tactile pixels (taxels). MagTics' thin form factor and flexibility allows for …

In this paper, we investigate the use of thermal feedback on a smart ring with multiple
thermoelectric coolers (TECs). Our prototype aims to offer an increased expressivity with …

In spite of the great potential of on-body vibrotactile displays for a variety of applications,
research lacks an understanding of the spacing between vibrotactile actuators. Through two …

Increasing HCI work on affective interfaces aimed to capture and communicate users'
emotions in order to support self-understanding. While most such interfaces employ …

Emoticons are indispensable in online communications. With users' growing needs for more
customized and expressive emoticons, recent messaging applications begin to support …

Our haptic sense comprises both taction or cutaneous information obtained through
receptors in the skin, and kinesthetic awareness of body forces and motions. Broadly …

This paper presents the co-design process of a wearable device for rock climbing, an
extreme sport that requires high physical, emotional, and cognitive involvement. From the …

Relatively little research exists on the use of smartwatches to support learning. This paper
presents an approach for commodity smartwatches as a tool for situated reflection in …
