    Abstract

    We conducted preliminary evaluation on how people perceive haptic stimuli generated by air vortex rings of different intensity and how these stimuli affect their emotional experience with respect to stress. We developed a prototype cheek haptic display that generates an air vortex ring at two types of intensity of air pressure to present a different haptic stimulus on the cheek when a subject feels stress while performing a task. Using the system, we conducted a preliminary experiment to evaluate cognitive awareness using task performance, physiological awareness using changes in autonomic activity, and subjective feelings using a visual analog scale test of three stress feelings for quantitative evaluation of emotional experience. Although further experiments are needed, the results show that it is a promising method for effectively reducing stress and modifying emotional experience.
