Abstract :
The concept of a virtual arm wrestling system for force display communication analysis is proposed. The prototype system of a 5-DOF force display system with 4 air cylinders and a force sensor is developed for the affect display and interaction of virtual human on the basis of human nonverbal behavior and physiological measurement in arm wrestling. By using the system, the relations between force display and physiological index of peripheral skin temperature of fingers associated with circulation dynamics in response to forced actions is examined, and the effectiveness of the system for the analysis of force display communication characteristics is confirmed
