| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The effect of haptic perception on the human emotional experience has been the topic of recent human-computer interaction studies. In this study, we conducted preliminary evaluation on how people perceive haptic stimuli generated by air vortex rings and how these stimuli affect their physiological state. We developed a prototype interactive cheek haptic display that generates an air vortex ring at a certain air pressure to present a haptic stimulus on the cheek when a subject feels stress while performing a task.We evaluated cognitive awareness using task performance, physiological awareness using changes in low frequency/high frequency, brain wave and subjective feelings. Although further experiments are needed, the results suggests that a haptic display is a promising method for effectively reducing stress and modifying emotional experience. This endorses the interrelationship between haptic stimuli and a human's physiological state.
