Abstract

We present TelEdge, a novel method of remote haptic communication using electrical stimulation through the edges of the smartphone. The aim of this study is to explore communications that can be created by adding touch sensing and haptic feedback using the electrical edge display to conventional audio-visual functionality. We conducted monitoring observations and interviews during a video call between two people, presenting interactive haptic feedback.
