Haptic Expressions of Stress During an Interactive Game

The study of the potential of haptic channel to convey emotions is very promising for human-machine interaction and mediated communication. However, main researches investigated acted emotions that are not representative of natural and spontaneous behaviors. This paper addresses the issue of expression of spontaneous emotions. In the context of a game application that involves haptic interaction, a suitable scenario and context were designed to elicit a spontaneous stressed affective state. The haptic behavior of participants was subsequently analyzed in order to highlight the changes during and after the elicitation of this affective state.
