Exploring the Haptic Crayola Effect

چکیده
Haptic icons are short sequences of vibrations designed to provide meaningful information and feedback to the user. In order for the icons to be useful, strategies to help users to identify, distinguish, and recall them need to be developed. In this paper, we investigate the effect that naming haptic icons has on the accuracy with which users are able to identify, distinguish, and recall the icons. We have conducted a between-subjects experiment using 60 participants equally divided in three naming conditions: no names, pre-selected non-descriptive names, and self-selected names. The experiment examined the impact that different naming strategies had on the ability of participants to accurately match the icons to given stimuli as well as their ability to remember the names. Our results suggest that while many participants felt that the names were useful, naming did not actually have any significant impact on the accuracy with which users were able to match icons to targets. Additionally, participants reported that allowing them to choose the names for the icons enabled them to better remember and distinguish the icons than participants who were presented with icons given non-descriptive names. Despite this finding, the groups did not differ significantly in their ability to remember the icons.

A Robust Controller with Online Authority Transformation for Dual User Haptic Training System
In this study, a force reflection control structure is developed for the surgery training haptic system. In the surgery training haptic system, the surgical operation is cooperatively performed by a trainer and a trainee. The participation of each surgeon in the operation is established through their own haptic consoles. Although the operation is primarily performed by the trainee, the trainer ...
متن کاملCommunicating Emotion Through a Haptic Link
The world is more and more connected and yet we are often physically distant from people we care about. Technology increasingly supports remote interpersonal communication but has yet to integrate our sense of touch into this interaction. Researchers in the field of haptics (touch and technology) have started exploring computer-mediated touch interaction. The question is how should a computer-m...

Olfactory research in immersive virtual environments (IVEs) have often examined the addition of scent as part of the environment or atmosphere that act as experimental stimuli. There appears to be a lack of research on the influence of virtual foods in IVEs on human satiation. Studies based on situational cues or self-perception theory provide support for the hypothesis that touching and smelli...
متن کاملVision, haptics, and attention: new data from a multisensory Necker cube.
When looking monocularly at a three-dimensional (3-D) Necker cube two percepts alternate: a cube and a truncated pyramid. The latter is due to a depth reversal. We studied the effect of haptic information by having participants hold the cube with their hands and explore two of its vertices. Touch reduces the likelihood of the pyramid, consistent with a multisensory view of 3-D form perception. ...
