Frameworks and research question integration. The figure illustrates the framework we use to address each research question. The large round shape represents a social interaction, within which are presented the dimensions of functions (Vion, 1992) with the associated functions of mediated-touch (highlighted by Héron et al., 2022) as well as empty spaces for possible specific functions of visual-touch (or alternative mediated-touch devices). An arrow runs through the interaction to depict the dynamic and collaborative processes taking place within the interaction. The research questions (RQ) are associated with the different frameworks.
