Abstract

There is increasing research exploring how to augment expressive movements in dance practices by using haptic technologies. Meanwhile, less is known about how the audience perceives such information. In this study, we explore the potential of using a haptic wristband to convey contemporary dancers’ performative somatic information to the audience through real-time control of haptic feedback by a haptic DJ. We then evaluate audience members’ expectations towards the haptic-enabled viewing dance in a public performance setting. Participants indicated satisfaction with the improvisational haptic dance viewing experience.
