Abstract

The development of a device that enables haptic foot interaction for communication over a network is presented. Considering the physical properties of feet we demonstrate that feet are suited for personal, concealed communication over a computer network. First experiments to investigate both the usability and fun of using foot interaction indicate promising results and concrete opportunities for further development.
