Abstract
This study targets the empathetic communication that occur in sharing the same field. To provide quantitative
evaluations, physiological changes are observed using optical camera communication. Vibrotactile stimulation
was presented simultaneously to enhance the viewing experience. Thanks to the vibrotactile communication
technologies, we can record, distribute, and display tactile information in accordance with audiovisual contents and
optical camera communication enabled us to simultaneously observe physiological responses from crowd of
people. By combining these interdisciplinary technologies we can run cyclical research processes of sense
intervention, measurement, evaluation, and factor analysis to progress the research on empathetic
communication. Based on these research results, we will make a design theory for making field that can enhance
the wellbeing of the people gathered in the field.
