Abstract

We present Wearable Confidence - a vibrotactile display for facilitating self-confidence through applying emotionally resonant vibrotactile feedback generated from natural soundscapes and music pieces. The short-term research objective is to test how emotionally resonant vibrotactile stimuli influence the physiological parameters of a person correlated with various affective states. The objective of the demonstration is to offer the first-hand experience of the interaction with the Wearable Confidence prototypes and contribute conversations around designing vibrotactile body-centric technologies for self-perception change.
