title = "Re-Touch: A VR Experience for Enhancing Autobiographical Memory Recall Through Haptic and Affective Feedback",
abstract = "Autobiographical memory recall can be triggered through sensory stimuli, often creating a positive impact on emotional well-being. However, there are few systems that can adapt to users{\textquoteright} emotional state and provide personalized stimuli to better support this process. Re-Touch enhances memory recall through the integration of Virtual Reality (VR), haptic feedback, and affective computing. It allows users to revisit their personal memories in a controlled VR space. By monitoring physiological responses (photoplethysmography (PPG) and electrodermal activity (EDA)) the system adjusts the haptic feedback intensity and the VR content to match the user{\textquoteright}s emotional needs, enhancing sensory and emotional immersion.",
