Abstract
In this paper we outline the design process of TaSST (Tactile Sleeve
for Social Touch), a touch-sensitive vibrotactile arm sleeve. The
TaSST was designed to enable two people to communicate different
types of touches over a distance. The touch-sensitive surface of the
sleeve consists of a grid of 4x3 compartments filled with conductive
wool. Each compartment controls the vibration intensity of a
vibration motor, located in a grid of 4x3 motors beneath the touch
sensitive layer. An initial evaluation of the TaSST was conducted
in order to assess its capabilities for communicating different types
of touch.
