The Impact of Visual and Multi-Sensory Haptic Cues on Motion Accuracy

Quinn Deitrick

Haptics, the interaction between people and their surrounding environment through touch, has allowed for various possibilities of information processing. Different forms of haptics include vibration (such as in phones to signal a notification), pressure change, and resistance. However, it is unclear how people utilize haptic feedback with other senses such as vision. This experiment compares the ability to distinguish and respond to haptic and visual movement cues to determine their accuracy to communicate a motion.
