    PiloNape: electrostatic artificial piloerection for affecting emotional experiences
    (2022) Iriarte Cárdenas, Naroa; Marzo Pérez, Asier; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Industrial, Informática y de Telecomunicación; Industria, Informatika eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzako Goi Mailako Eskola Teknikoa
    Piloerection is a strong affective reaction that occurs in human beings. In this project, we induce artificial piloerection using contactless electrostatics to enhance the affective response of users when they are interacting with computer systems. Firstly, we design and compare various high-voltage generators in terms of the static charge, safety and frequency response with different electrodes as well as grounding strategies. Secondly, a psychophysics user study revealed which body parts are more sensitive to electrostatic piloerection and what adjectives are associated with them; the wrist and the nape were the most sensitive parts. Finally, we combine a generator with a head mounted display to add artificial piloerection to virtual experiences of fear. We hope that these findings allows designers to use contactless piloerection in affective experiences such as music, short movies, videogames or exhibitions.

    Contactless electrostatic piloerection for haptic sensations
    (IEEE, 2023) Iriarte Cárdenas, Naroa; Ezcurdia Aguirre, Íñigo Fermín; Elizondo Martínez, Sonia; Irisarri Erviti, Josu; Hemmerling, Daria; Ortiz Nicolás, Amalia; Marzo Pérez, Asier; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika
    In this project, we create artificial piloerection using contactless electrostatics to induce tactile sensations in a contactless way. Firstly, we design various high-voltage generators and evaluate them in terms of their static charge, safety and frequency response with different electrodes as well as grounding strategies. Secondly, a psychophysics user study revealed which parts of the upper body are more sensitive to electrostatic piloerection and what adjectives are associated with them. Finally, we combine an electrostatic generator to produce artificial piloerection on the nape with a head-mounted display, this device provides an augmented virtual experience related to fear. We hope that work encourages designers to explore contactless piloerection for enhancing experiences such as music, short movies, video games, or exhibitions.
