Emotional Haptics: 内受容感覚刺激で情動を高める!
More emotional experiences via interoceptive haptic stimuli!
身体反応と感情のあいだには密接な関係があり,ハプティック・インタフェースで効果的に内受容感覚を刺激することで,情動に働きかけるインタフェース技術が実現します.
そのような技術の原理を追究したうえで,最適化を図り,超情動コンテンツを生み出していきます.
Haptic stimuli give rise to physiological activities which are deeply coupled with emotions.
We are establishing haptic interfaces for hyper-emotional experiences whilst elucidating underlying principles
and optimization of the interfaces.
Emotional Hack! 内受容感覚への振動刺激で情動を増幅
Emotions magnified by vibro-interoceptive stimuli
Horror movies become more terrifying. Sports movies feel even more thrilling. Vibratory stimuli applied to the
upper body can enhance these effects. Haptic feedback synchronized with emotional scenes in videos amplifies
the impact of audiovisual content, making it more engaging and emotionally stirring.
This stimulation method can also be integrated with real-time physiological signal measurement and feedback,
such as skin conductance, to effectively intensify dynamic emotional experiences.
Our research focuses on optimizing these stimuli for maximum effect.
There are various techniques for estimating human emotions, including the use of electrophysiological signals.
Our research team is investigating the detailed relationship between skin conductance responses and emotional changes.
For example, we have clarified how different types of emotions—such as fear and excitement—affect the temporal
patterns of skin conductance responses.
While combining multiple physiological signals is ultimately essential for emotion estimation,
our research focuses on developing these key foundational techniques.
We have been developing a haptic interface to stimulate outer-ear (outer part of auditory meatus), in which vagus nerves end.
We have demonstrated that a sound-synchronized friction stimuli to the ear make emotional experiences from natural sounds to
be more pleasant and relaxed.
We have continued to advance this technique.
How can we match haptic stimuli with the color?
We allocated them on the emotional space and sought the best combinations between the color and vibrotactile stimulus.
For example, rapid and high-frequency Vibration is arousing and corresponds to red.
Low-frequency and prolonged vibration is less arousing and feels sad. These are close to the concepts of purple.
Emotional information contents can be more appealing when being delivered with congruent color and haptic cues.
