User Expectations and Mental Models for Communicating Emotions through Compressive & Warm ...
summary
Study maps how shape-memory-alloy garments use coupled warmth and compression to signal seven emotions using two online surveys and 80 participants split into communication vs elicitation. Finds five mental-model categories for choosing location, intensity, and pattern, and concrete strategy differences: neck squeeze for eliciting fear, broad locations when merely communicating fear; high intensity to express happiness vs low intensity to elicit it. Authors build SMA-actuated garments and plan real sender–receiver deployments.
