    Area of Science:

    • Human-Computer Interaction
    • Wearable Technology
    • Social Computing

    Background:

    • Physical exercise is crucial for health, but motivation and social connection can be barriers.
    • Modern lifestyles often limit opportunities for in-person social exercise.
    • There is a need for technologies that facilitate social interaction during physical activity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a novel system for 'remote social walks'.
    • To enable users to share gait cadence and enhance the sense of mutual presence during walking.
    • To overcome geographical limitations hindering social exercise.

    Main Methods:

    • A system was developed to stream gait cadence between two users in different locations.
    • Haptic feedback, via ankle vibrations, was used to convey the partner's gait sensation during heel-strike.
    • A four-step incremental validation process was employed, progressing from single-user adaptation to bi-directional peer-to-peer communication.
    • Experiments involved 50 participants across various scenarios.

    Main Results:

    • The system successfully enabled users to perceive their partner's gait cadence.
    • Haptic feedback effectively conveyed the sensation of a partner's heel-strike.
    • The four-step validation process confirmed system efficacy in different social walking configurations.
    • Participants reported an increased sense of mutual presence.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed 'remote social walk' system is effective in connecting individuals through shared physical activity.
    • Haptic feedback enhances the perception of a partner's presence during remote exercise.
    • This technology offers a viable solution for maintaining social connections and motivation for physical activity despite geographical separation.
