Abstract

The expression and impact of social support have been studied over the years in different fields. The purpose of this study is a preliminary exploration of how to mediate social support through touch remotely by using a vibrotactile device during a public presentation. With this study, we aim to explore (1) what are the patterns of expressing social support through touch during public speaking and (2) how can these patterns be mediated through technology. Through the User Enactment method, we identified common ways of providing social support and when to express physical support during the public speaking scenario. We gathered insights on the perceived meaning and overall experience of receiving vibrotactile feedback as a form of social support during public speaking.
