This work is recently submitted as a Full Paper to ACM CHI 2023.
Corsetto, is a full stack system design and platform for upper-body haptics. The Corset-like garment and its control architecture is developed as a platform for respiratory regulation, in this case for mediating skill learning and transfer between a voice teacher and student.
Using OmniFiber technology, we fabricated a robotic upper body garment that can capture and stimulate the movement of muscle groups employed in respiration. Our initial testing was in the context of vocal pedagogy, however a similar approach can be used to help runners for respiration support and recovery before, during and after practice, for supporting emotional regulation with deep pressure feedback onto the upper body, and as mechanical counterpressure (MCP) suit similar to that of the MIT BioSuit.
