Abstract
This talk will detail an exploratory study of remote interpersonal communication using our spatial haptic prototype. This research focuses on the types of information that can be expressed between two people using the haptic modality, and the impact of augmenting communication with haptic input/output on awareness and collaboration. Based on the results of this study and previous work, I will briefly describe some potential areas for future research in haptic and multimodal interaction for ubiquitous computing systems and HCI in general.
