Abstract

The purpose of this research is to build and evaluate collaborative touch devices that influence behavior change over individuals in small group situations. This paper presents touch proxy objects for collocated collaboration and communication. Touch proxy objects afford and represent touch in order to allow the sense of touch to be shared between people. This paper presents preliminary observations from studies performed on existing touch communication objects.
