Vibrotactile Language: Bi-directional Interaction between a Vibrotactile wearable vest and a Vibroacoustic Humming Wall

We designed a wearable vest that houses a set of actuators that were placed at specific points on the myofascial lines of the body. We built a large interactive vibrotaoustic work named The Humming Wall for interacting with the vest and general public use. Vest wearers can see, hear and feel their own heartbeat and breath in the vibroacoustics of the wall and participants can swipe and knock on The Humming Wall and the vest wearer is effectively swiped and knocked upon.
Our participants responded well to The Humming wall and to the Calming and Feel Good patterns.
