contents This paper introduces a vibrotactile belt for interpersonal synchronization of breath. It can synchronize the breathing tempo of two people by transferring breathing rhythm of one user to vibration signals of another belt, where the depth of breathing is represented by the intensity of vibration. This provides a novel way of emotional connect between people. Meanwhile, this breath-sharing device may also be combined with smart devices in the future to form a one-to-many, many-to-many internet of breath, which has promising application prospects in healthcare, sports breathing guidance and other scenarios.
