Tangible Affective Interfaces
Physical objects that sense and communicate emotion through shape, texture, and temperature.
Smart materials and shape-changing interfaces that convey affect through haptic qualities—softness, warmth, breathing patterns, or morphing forms—providing non-screen-based emotional communication for children, elders, and material-centric cultures.
