Abstract

Social-haptic communication (SHC) has developed over the last thirty years as a way of conveying social, environmental and contextual information to people with dual sensory impairments using touch messages. Recent technological advances and the spread of SHC methods has led to situations in which it may be desirable to deliver similar messages through a machine interface: so that touch messages can be sent across the internet, for example. In this piece we consider some of the key challenges to implementing “mediated SHC” messages through a technological devices, and propose some areas that should be priorities for research into this area.
Keywords: Social haptic communication. Haptic devices. Tactile communication.
