Sharing Emotion Described as Text on the Internet by Changing Self-physiological Perception

Agents like human, such as humanoid robots or avatars can be felt as if they have and communicate and communicate due to manipulation of the bodily information. Meanwhile, as in the case of Internet bot, it is still difficult to communiate the emotion described as text, let alone empathizing due to degradation of information online. The current study proposes a method for experiencing emotion on the Internet by reproducing a mechanism of evoking emotion. This method evokes a number of emotions described on the Web, by changing of self-physiological perception with sensory stimuli. To investigate the feasibility of our method, we made a system named "Communious Mouse." This system rewrites the perception of self-skin temperature and pulse in a palm by presenting vibration and thermal stimulation through a mouse device for evoking emotion. The current paper discusses the feasibility of our method based on the obtained feedbacks through an exhibition of the system.
