Ultra Geeky but cool! World’s first Low Power Bluetooth app on iPhone 4s. Ultra low power Bluetooth can run hardware for up to a year on a watch battery. I am developing a new project with my students using this new chip from Texas Instruments – stay tuned 🙂

We introduce Huggy Pajama, a system for remote hugging targeted at parent-child communication. Expanding on experimentation and research shared in a previously published paper; in this paper we focus on development breakthroughs regarding the wearable output and independently controlled multiple air-actuated modules found in the mobile wearable jacket subsystem. We include practical data in designing the wearable and mobile version of Huggy Pajama with embedded electronic and pneumatic devices, as well as offer results from a user study, from which we find that in order to deliver a mediated hug of high fidelity, the system needs to be capable of actuating hugs with a wide and differing range of pressure. Finally, we also present results from this study that show an overall positive emotional affect in the use of the new and improved version of the Huggy Pajama system.

Kissenger. Paper on Kiss Messenger published in Designing Interacting Systems 2012
Hooman Aghaebrahimi Samani, Rahul Parsani, Lenis Tejada Rodriguez, Elham Saadatian, Kumudu Harshadeva Dissanayake, and Adrian David Cheok. 2012. Kissenger: design of a kiss transmission device. In Proceedings of the Designing Interactive Systems Conference (DIS ‘12). ACM, New York, NY, USA, 48-57. DOI=10.1145/2317956.2317965 http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/2317956.2317965
In this paper, we present Kissenger (Kiss Messenger), an interactive device that provides a physical interface for transmitting a kiss between two remotely connected people. Each device is paired to another and can sense and transmit the amount of force that a user applies to a pair of lips which is recreated on the other device using motors. Kissenger was designed to augment already existing remote communication technologies such as video chat. The goal of this work is to promote intimacy between humans in long distance relationships. After presenting the background and motivation for the need of such a device, we describe the design process that consisted of three iteration stages, each with its own focus and evaluation. We then present a preliminary user study performed with seven couples that compare Kissenger to current video chat technology.
