Digital Touch Emoticons: Development, Effectiveness and Usability

A 2017-18 Social Science Plus Pilot Project (£11,500)

Digital Touch Emoticons brought together experts on touch from social science, neuroscience and computer science with the aim to understand how affective touch can be digitally-mediated to enhance social communication and positive social feedback. The project used methods from these three disciplines to generate a prototype design and explored how a device for digital touch communication could be best commercialized in the near future.
