触摸在传达情感、加强人际交往中起着至关重要的作用[4]。许多研究都集中在如何创建或改进触觉界面，探讨触觉技术可以提供的挑战和可能性[30]。这项研究的目的是调查人们是否可以通过简单的振动触觉反馈来分享主观感受。在最初的实验中，我们使用 TECHTILE 工具包[19]记录了 4 种不同情绪（快乐、愤怒、悲伤、放松）的 28 个振动样本集。然后我们重放振动以测试它们的识别效果。结果支持这样的假设：人们可以使用振动反馈作为表达特定主观感受的媒介。它还表明情感振动触觉刺激的一些普遍性，即使是对发送者知之甚少甚至一无所知的陌生人也能识别情感含义。
Touch plays an essential role in communicating emotions and intensifying interpersonal communication[4]. A lot of research focuses on how to create or improve haptic interfaces looking into challenges and possibilities that the haptic technology can offer[30]. The objective of this research is to investigate whether people can share subjective feelings through simple vibrotactile feedback. In an initial experiment, we used the TECHTILE toolkit[19] to record 28 vibration sample sets for 4 different emotions (joy, anger, sadness, relaxation). We then replayed the vibrations to test how well they could be recognized. The results support the hypothesis that people can use vibration feedback as a medium for expressing specific subjective feelings. It also indicates some universalities in affective vibrotactile stimuli that even strangers with little to no knowledge about the senders could recognize the emotional meanings.
