Abstract
Human touch conveys both force and thermal sensations. Extensive research has shown that real-time thermal feedback from natural touch can alleviate anxiety, reduce interpersonal barriers, and foster positive emotional responses. In this paper, we present a 3D-printed haptic device designed to deliver simultaneous squeeze and thermal cues (warm). The device applies squeeze to the user's forearm through moving fabrics, while temperature cues are generated via Peltier components and distributed through a glued Alu foil. The results from the exploratory study (N = 10) demonstrates a very plausible touch experience that is significantly better than a visual only control condition. These results suggest that the devices is effective for rendering human touch but also imply a further need for investigations regarding the optimal timing and and intensity of the thermal cues.
