By augmenting social touch, we refer to stimuli accompanying virtual avatar-avatar collisions, e.g., particle effects, sounds, or vibrations. Further, we share impressions of first prototypical implementations focusing on visual augmentations and define future research directions.envirtual realityaugmented social interactionSocial VRmediated social touchembodied interactionText/Workshop Paper10.18420/muc2021-mci-ws16-241
