Fabric roughness is one of the most important aspects of assessing fabric tactile properties. Prior research has demonstrated that touch-related sounds can alter the perception of textures. However, understanding touch-related sound of digital fabric textures, and how they could convey affective responses remain a challenge. In this study, we mapped digital fabric textures using mid-air haptics stimuli and examined how auditory manipulation influences people’s roughness perception. Through qualitative interviews, participants detailed that while rubbing sounds smoothen fabric texture perception, pure tone sounds of 450Hz and 900Hz accent roughness perception. The rubbing sound of fabric evoked associations with soft-materials and led to more calming experiences. In addition, we discussed how haptic interaction can be extended to multisensory modes, revealing a new perspective of mapping multisensory experiences for digital fabrics. date: 2024-05 date_type: published publisher: ACM official_url: https://doi.org/10.1145/3613904.3642533 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2275759 doi: 10.1145/3613904.3642533 lyricists_name: Obrist, Marianna lyricists_name: Xue, Jing lyricists_id: MOBRI99 lyricists_id: JAXUE96 actors_name: Obrist, Marianna actors_id: MOBRI99 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public pres_type: paper publication: Proceedings of the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems place_of_pub: New York, NY, USA event_title: CHI '24: CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems book_title: CHI '24: Proceedings of the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems citation: Xue, Jing; Montano Murillo, Roberto; Dawes, Christopher; Frier, William; Cornelio, Patricia; Obrist, Marianna; (2024) FabSound: Audio-Tactile and Affective Fabric Experiences Through Mid-air Haptics.
