koloHart: Neck-Worn Tactile Choker for Sensory Substitution and Sensory Enhancement
SessionPosters
DescriptionTactile feedback on the neck is considered to hold great potential due to its unique sensory characteristics as a sensory organ. However, this area remains largely unexplored at present.
To address this potential, we propose koloHart, a neck-worn tactile choker designed to utilize the neck's distinctive properties for both sensory substitution and sensory enhancement. koloHart is a wearable haptics device equipped with eight linear resonant actuators (LRAs) arranged around the neck, capable of delivering fine vibrotactile feedback from 360-degree directions. This poster showcases a variety of potential application scenarios that highlight the expressive and immersive potential of neck-based tactile feedback.
