Abstract

In this report we discuss adding a new sensor which allows the user to perceive changes in HyperMirror space. The sensation caused by the tactile displays allows the user to perceive other users' movements. The tactile signal is not intrusive, although it works to arouse attention. It is possible to immerse oneself in the HyperMirror conversation environment without paying constant attention to the screen.
