説明
In the past decades, it has become widely accepted that pets have a positive effect on humans, which leaded to multiple studies on the effects of Human-Animal Interaction (HAI)[4][3]. However, there are many occasions where pet owners have to leave their pets such as working and studying abroad. Thus, we introduce 'Nene', a set of device, including an interactive cat-shaped device that reproduces in real-time features of a pet such thermal and haptic characteristics, and a mobile application for visual and acoustic features. In this study, we explore the psychological effects that Nene has on humans, focusing on loneliness and stress aspects. The evaluation shows a positive result as it provides a calming and relaxing effect to the users and potentially reduces stress and loneliness level. The result aims to open a new perspective for remote HAI for pet owners.
