Abstract

We propose a system called Haptic Pad for Impressive Text Communication for creating text messages with haptic stimuli using the SPIDAR-tablet haptic interface. This system helps users indicate emotion and action of characters in text messages by attaching physical feedback. We evaluated the effectiveness of the system experimentally in three scenarios: storytelling, business e-mail and text messaging. We also conducted experiment for comparing effectiveness of haptic pattern, bold text and emoticon. We found that haptic stimuli are attached to facilitate three functions: emphasis in text messages, expression of emotion, and scene description. We also found that it is effective to apply HAPPicom not only to text messaging but to storytelling.
