Analyzing time-series changes of the contact surface by touching is important to elucidate the touching skills of Humanitude as one of the pervasive multimodal comprehensive care methodologies. For the analysis, there is a frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR) method to capture contact surfaces on a transparent flat plate by a camera. However, this conventional flat plate is far from the actual surfaces of carereceivers because the surfaces of humans consist of curved shapes. In this paper, we propose an FTIR sensing system using a transparent curved plate to capture more ideal contact states with a surface shape more similar to the human body. We collect the contact surface data of the beginning of touching motions by Humanitude experts and novices using the FTIR sensing system with the curved and flat plates. Then, we compare the data by the experts and novices in terms of time-series contact areas and the quantitative indices and subjective evaluation and discuss the analysis results. Through these experiments, we confirm that the proposed system has the potential for the novices to perform more correctly the beginning of Humanitude's touching motions.
