A human’s heart beating can be sensed by sensors and displayed for others to see, hear, feel, and (what we want to argue) potentially “resonate” with. Previous work in studying interaction designs with physiological data, such as a heart’s pulse rate, have argued that feeding it back to the users may, for example support users’ mindfulness and self-awareness during various everyday activities and ultimately support their health and wellbeing. Inspired by Somaesthetics as a discipline, we designed and explored multimodal displays, which enable experiencing heart beats as natural stimuli from oneself and others in social proximity …
