TY - CONF A1 - Werner, Julia A1 - Wettach, Reto A1 - Hornecker, Eva T1 - United-pulse T2 - MobileHCI '08 : Proceedings of the 10th international conference on Human computer interaction with mobile devices and services N2 - This paper introduces a device that creates remote intimacy by the use of two rings named "united-pulse". Each ring can measure the wearer's heartbeat and send it to the partner's ring. Hereby, artificial corporeality is created between the couple. By means of a working prototype, united-pulse has been successfully tested. Among the 28 participants the prototype has attracted large interest. Through the heartbeat - the essential vital sign - a feeling of being very close to the partner is provided. Touching the ring allows a small moment of intimacy in situations where emotional support is needed.
