Abstract
This PhD explores the potential of leveraging the unique qualities of temperature experiences in the design of tactile and thermal interfaces. Thermal stimuli can evoke various emotions and sensations, from relaxation or nostalgia to feelings of vitality. The research examines the design space of temperature-related experiences, driven by the growing body of literature in multi-sensory technologies and thermal feedback. While temperature feedback has shown promise in enhancing virtual immersion or interpersonal communication, the focus has primarily been on technological aspects, leaving experiential and aesthetic dimensions largely unexplored. This paper highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of temperature experiences to inform future design and enhance the richness of thermal interfaces in various applications.Description
