Therefore, having the ability to express a lasting impression on others could play an important role in interpersonal relationships. Sound and smell can unconsciously help in creating a mental image of another person's personality during a face-to-face encounter, and each unique sound and smell aid in the memory of one another.

Beyond simply a place to consume food, the dining room is a social hub where family members meet and share experiences. Yet busy lifestyles can make it difficult to spend social time with your family. To provide a new solution for family bonding, this paper presents the CoDine system, a dining table embedded with interactive subsystems that augment and transport the experience of communal family dining to create a sense of ...

Cooking and sharing food are important activities to enhance relationship and intimacy, transmitting warm feelings among people. As a reproduction and extension of the social fun around food, our FoodGenie project provides a novel and seamless system to enable communication and entertainment through edible food, which breathes playfulness into people's everyday life.

Besides that, voice recognition and vision tracking technology are also used in some form of computer games. However, these interfaces do not provide the ability for remote users to touch and feel each other. Therefore, we propose a system that aims to improve social and tangible interaction between remote persons which can be applied in the area of gaming and entertainment. It has a mobile input interface device which senses the force of human touch and a haptic wearable suit which simulates human touch on the body of the wearer.

Clothes and light are central visual elements therefore, the relationship between perception of objects through sight and emotions are examined, elements of visual language of cloths and light are examined through documentary record, elements of visual language such as shape, color, and texture of light and clothes that influence each other are classified as well as unique elements of visual elements of light such as blink speed and blink pattern, and terms that are related to the psychological effects of these elements are extracted. Based on this, using the 8 most representative human emotions which includes happiness, excitement, anger, hatred, sadness, shock, fear, and shame as standards of design, interaction design elements using clothes and light for expression of each emotion are organized in a matrix.

Currently, it is being mainly used for peer-to-peer communication. However, SMS could be used as public media platform to enhance social and public interactions in an intuitive way. We have developed BlogWall to extend the SMS to a new level of self-expression and public communication by combining art and poetry. Furthermore, it will provide a means of expression in the language that children can understand, and the forms of social communication. BlogWall can also be used to educate the children while they interact and play with the system. The most notable feature of the system is its ability to mix up and generate poetry in multiple languages such as English, Korean, Chinese poems, or Japanese "Haiku" all based on the SMS. This system facilitates a cultural experience to children unknowingly, thus it is a step into new forms of cultural computing.

In this modern world, knowledge develops so fast that the amount of intellectual information that needs to be learnt before it becomes obsolete again is so huge. Distance learning through the use of Internet technologies has the advantage of being able to get across the information to the students remotely and effortlessly. The other advantage, which is the main focus of this paper, is that students are able to learn from their instructors on an ...

This system enables parents and children to hug one another through a novel hugging interface device and a wearable, hug reproducing pajama connected through the Internet. The hugging device is a small, mobile doll with an embedded pressure sensing circuit that is able to accurately sense varying levels of the range of human force produced from natural touch. This device sends hug signals to a haptic jacket that simulates the feeling of being hugged to the wearer. It features air pockets actuating to reproduce hug, heating elements to produce warmth that accompanies hug, and color changing pattern and accessory to indicate distance of separation and communicate expressions. In this paper, we present the system design of Huggy Pajama.
