What if your clothes could power your wearable devices? texTENG introduces a maker-friendly framework for creating textile-based triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs)—fabrics that harvest energy from everyday human motion
Micro-expressions are fleeting facial movements lasting just 40-200 milliseconds that are believed to reveal concealed emotions. But can these subtle expressions actually be measured objectively? This study provides the
Music has long been known to evoke powerful emotions, but can machines truly understand and predict these emotional responses? This survey paper takes stock of the field of music emotion recognition (MER), examining the
Virtual body extensions like wings or tails offer exciting new experiences in VR, but using them naturally—especially parts you can't see, like a tail—requires proprioceptive feedback to sense position and force without
Electro-tactile interfaces—which deliver tactile sensations through electrical stimulation of skin nerves—offer unique advantages like fast response times, thin flexible form factors, and the ability to simulate textures
What happens when you watch yourself perform in VR—and then have to critique that performance? This study explored self-reflection in motor skill learning using a Karate training task. Participants were embodied as a "tr
Can fake heartbeat sounds trick your body into relaxing? This system generates pseudo-heartbeat audio at rates slightly slower than your actual heart rate to induce calm and support meditation. Using a contactless radar
Learning to identify musical pitch intervals usually requires tedious rote practice. Purrfect Pitch offers a new approach: a wearable haptic vest that translates sound into touch. When users hear two musical notes, they
Processing high-resolution video with AI requires massive computational resources. GazeLLM offers an elegant solution inspired by human vision: use eye-tracking to focus only on what matters. By cropping first-person vid
Traditional quadrotor drones pose safety concerns with their spinning blades. Cuddle-Fish takes a different approach: a helium-filled soft robot with bio-inspired flapping wings that's safe enough to touch, hug, and inte

Perceiving and altering the sensation of internal physiological states, such as heartbeats, is key for biofeedback and interoception. Yet, wearable devices used for this purpose can feel intrusive and typically fail to d
To enhance focused eating and dining socialization, previous Human-Food Interaction research has indicated that external devices can support these dining objectives and immersion. However, methods that focus on the food
When several individuals collaborate on a shared task, their brain activities often synchronize. This phenomenon, known as Inter-brain Synchronization (IBS), is notable for inducing prosocial outcomes such as enhanced in
