Popis: Our emotions do not always surface into our awareness, making it difficult to manage them and communicate them to others. Even when emotions do not reach our awareness, they still express themselves as physiological changes, often unperceived by ourselves and others. To aid in emotion self-regulation and increase the bandwidth of emotion communication, I designed a programmable affective sleeve that translates physiological aspects of emotions into material haptic action. The affective sleeve has been developed as a case study for Affective Matter. Affective Matter suggests a method for human-material interaction that enhances health and wellbeing.
