Abstract

In counseling, non-verbal communication such as making physical contacts is an effective skill of role playing. In remote counseling via videophones, spacing and physical contacts cannot be used, and communication must be made only with expressions and words. This paper describes an embrace system for remote counseling, which consists of HyperMirror and vibrators and can provide effects similar to those by physical contacts in face-to-face counseling.
