Abstract
We present LivEdge, a novel method for live stream interaction on smartphones utilizing electro-tactile sensation through the edges. Conventional interactions between users and a streamer on a smartphone are restricted to the streamer’s response through user comments or effects. Our goal is to provide a more immersive interaction through the use of haptic technology. LivEdge can convey spatial tactile sensations through electrical stimulations from electrode arrays affixed to both edges of the smartphone. This spatial tactile stimulus represents the streamer’s physical presence and movements in contact with the edge of the screen. Preliminary experiment showed LivEdge enhances the live stream experience.
