ABSTRACT
We present the Lumitouch system consisting of a pair of interactive picture frames. When one user touches her picture frame, the other picture frame lights up. This touch is translated to light over an Internet connection. We introduce a semi-ambient display that can transition seamlessly from periphery to foreground in addition to communicating emotional content. In addition to enhancing the communication between loved ones, people can use LumiTouch to develop a personal emotional language.Based upon prior work on telepresence and tangible interfaces, LumiTouch explores emotional communication in tangible form. This paper describes the components, interactions, implementation and design approach of the LumiTouch system.

Review of unconventional user interfaces for emotional communication between long-distance partners
MobileHCI '18: Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and ServicesNew form factors and user interfaces for computer-mediated communication are emerging. The possibilities to use these systems for emotional communication are interesting, and recent years have witnessed the appearance of a versatile range of prototypes. ...
In the candle light: pervasive display concept for emotional communication
PerDis '16: Proceedings of the 5th ACM International Symposium on Pervasive DisplaysIn this paper, we present a concept design and a prototype that utilizes a candle as communication media. We present a motorized candle stand, which casts different shadows on the wall based on messages received by a mobile phone. We envision that this ...
Emotion Evoked by Texture and Application to Emotional Communication
CHI EA '15: Proceedings of the 33rd Annual ACM Conference Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThe tactile sense is direct and intuitive, and considered appropriate for communicating emotional information. It is expected that emotional communication will be richer when including the use of the tactile sense. This study focuses on textures as ...
