Description

<p>A haptic device has been developed that enables individuals to feel heartbeat through the sense of touch by converting heartbeat sounds into vibrotactile feedback. We conducted two experiments with this device: the first focused on feeling one’s own heartbeat, and the second on feeling another person’s heartbeat. Our findings indicate that feeling one’s own heartbeat can reduce anxiety and make a person calm, while touching another person’s heartbeat can enhance interpersonal closeness.</p>
