“Remote High Five” Achieved by Vibrotactile Transmission: Case Studies for Family Communication of Athletes and Sports Viewing with Hearing-impaired Person

K. Komazaki and J. Watanabe

Transactions of the Virtual Reality Society of Japan, Vol. 27, No. 1, pp. 2–5, Mar. 2022.

High-five is a physical communication in which two people tap their palms together at face level. Particularly in sports, high-five can share greetings, praise, and congratulations. However, recently physical contact, including high-five, has been limited due to COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper, we explore a possibility of “remote high-five” communication system using vibrotactile transmission. This system can measure and present vibration in addition to audiovisual information, allowing users to remotely share their emotions by sending and receiving tapping vibration like giving a high five. We also discussed cases where this system was actually used in sports scenes: family communication of athletes and sports viewing with hearing-impaired person.
