Haptic devices have often been used to enhance a variety of audio experiences such as listening to music, meditating, wayfinding, accessibility, and communicating. In most cases, the haptic interface is wearable or handheld and therefore suffers from limitations related to ergonomics or a limited palette of haptic sensation effects. In this paper, we present a touchless audio-haptic demonstrator experience that enhances the immersive narrative of an emotional short story. To do so, we have created an audio-haptic mapping that is semantically congruent and have synchronized the presentation of audio and haptic effects to the narrative timeline. The haptic effects presented to the user's palm are both spatially and temporally modulated so that they convey a rich palette of sensations (e.g., tapping, direction, rotation, rain, electricity, etc.) that are triggered by keywords or events in the story.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
