触觉是一种独特的情感传递渠道。这种独特性的一个重要方面是，触摸与情感的关系是直接的，不需要符号编码和解码。然而，在开发远程触摸技术方面，大多数开创性的研究工作都导致了将触摸作为一种符号渠道的使用，无论是设计还是用户决定。我们回顾了有关触摸的心理学和社会学文献，并提出了一个触摸通道的直接性模型来传递情感。我们假设，情境渠道的战略性提供将解放触觉，使其承担起影响传达的角色。在此分析的基础上，我们提出了两条设计准则：第一，触摸通道需要与其他交流通道相结合，以阐明其含义；第二，通过不赋予触摸交互任何象征意义，鼓励将触摸作为一种即时通道。我们将根据这些指导原则来描述我们的触觉界面设计。我们的实验室实验表明，远程触摸强化了象征性渠道的意义，显着地减少了悲伤，并显示出减少总体负面情绪和增强欢乐的趋势。
Touch is a unique channel in affect conveyance. A significant aspect of this uniqueness is that the relation of touch to affect is immediate, without the need for symbolic encoding and decoding. However, most pioneering research work in developing remote touch technologies, result in the use of touch as a symbolic channel either by design or user decision. We present a review of relevant psychological and sociological literature of touch and propose a model of immediacy of the touch channel for conveyance of affect. We posit that the strategic provision of contextualizing channels will liberate touch to assume its role in affect conveyance. Armed with this analysis, we propose two design guidelines: first, the touch channel needs to be coupled with other communication channels to clarify its meaning; second, encourage the use touch as an immediate channel by not assigning any symbolic meaning to touch interactions. We proceed to describe our haptic interface design based on these guidelines. Our in-lab experiment shows that remote touch reinforces the meaning of a symbolic channel reducing sadness significantly and showing a trend to reduce general negative mood and to reinforce joviality.
