Abstract (EN): Sentience is one of the singularities that distinguish us as humans, and hugging is one of the gestures that may have several feelings behind it. A hug may be associated with feelings of love, happiness, joy or just be a social behavior, among others. This paper describes the concept, validation and implementation of Hug Me, a tangible interactive multimedia installation that explores human emotions and participants’ feelings, based on how they hug. The installation consists of a mannequin with sensors that detects when a participant hugs it. According to the characteristics of the hug, it perceives what the participant may be feeling and creates an audiovisual ambience in consonance with that feeling. The paper describes also the scientific investigations and validation of the installation.
