Abstract
In this paper we describe three tangible interfaces that recognize stress by how they are manipulated and provide tactile feedback to support stress reduction. They were developed following a research through design methodology, in an iterative process of observing behavior, building prototypes, and evaluating them in their context. The three interactive prototypes named Squeeze-it, Marmoro, and Wigo measure squeezing, and two types of rolling behavior respectively. Goal of this project was to evaluate in a quick and informal way what types of relaxing feedback are best suited for different behavioral expressions of stress.
