Have you ever experienced a real human touch in VR art? Read about its powerful UX effects in our recent paper by @JohnDesnoyers etal
«Real human touch: performer-facilitated touch enhances presence and embodiment in immersive performance» https://t.co/s63tKDVitK #VirtualReality

[Francesco Chiossi @francescochios3]

We extended the deadline for our PhysioCHI #CHI2024 workshop!

➡️ New Deadline is on February 29th!

Join us and help define the future of physiological data (sensing, actuation, sense-making, UX, ethics, …) in HCI.

In search of missing tactile sensations in telepresent virtual reality we explore how we could apply pseudo-haptics to elicit an embodied illusion of social touch in our ETC project.
Find me in the poster session to see the demo #CHI2023 @JohnDesnoyers
