Remote Intimacy
I was aiming at transmitting non-verbal communication for couples that live apart. To be more precise
I was looking how to transmit caressing the hand of each other.
Therefore I developed and built two different prototypes that can transmit a feeling similar to a caress in real time.
The input is performed by a fondle gesture (prototype A) or a turning one (prototype B) on top of the device. Receiving a fondle from his partner works automatically when the user holds the device in his hand. He then feels a fondle movement in his palm that produced on the devices' bottom.
This project was also published as short paper at Mobile HCI 2008 in Amsterdam ("A stroking device for spatially separated couples").
