将新鲜的触觉压缩成碎片：开发触觉设计调色板

触觉接口具有通过计算机实现情感表达性人际交流和通过触觉反馈丰富交互来增强通信和交互的潜力。然而，它们的潜力究竟是什么，以及我们如何设计以实现它仍然是当代辩论的主题。我对这场辩论的贡献将是将当前的一些发展置于哲学和文化背景下，并引入基于社会科学的方法，这将有助于扩大讨论和投入的范围。通过符号学分析，我们可以预测触觉交流中超越语言描述的“意义生成”。触觉接口的示例应定位为该类型学中的案例研究。此外，我描述了触觉盒和PinKom作为我研究触摸符号系统的方式。总之，本文希望通知和催化的触觉设计调色板的发展。
Haptic interfaces have the potential to enhance communication and interaction via the computer—enabling affective expressive interpersonal communication and enriching interaction by haptic feedback. Still, what exactly their potential is and how we can design in order to fulfil it remains topic of contemporary debate. My contribution to this debate shall be to place some of the current developments into a philosophical and cultural context and to introduce social science based methodologies, which will help broaden the discussion and scope of input. Through semiotic analysis, we can predict ‘meaning making’ in haptic communication that goes beyond linguistic description. Examples of Haptic interfaces shall be positioned as case studies in this typology. Also, I describe the Haptic Box and PinKom as my way of investigating a semiotic system of touch. In conclusion, this paper hopes to inform and catalyse the development of a haptic design palette.
