“…The participants' first experiences included confusion but also moments of surprise, which confirms the findings of the initial user study of AHNE [21]. Overall, the participants had mixed perceptions that included both positive and negative experiences.…”

“…AHNE is a prototype implementation of technology for spatial interactions, allowing exploration of AR objects with auditory and haptic (tactile) feedback [21]. AHNE consists of a space in which virtual objects are anchored to the space.…”

“…The interaction is based on locating and moving virtual objects in a 3D environment in which the feedback is provided through audio and haptic or tactile feedback [21]. The main components of AHNE are motion tracking for the user's position in the space, and for the hand movements, a custom made glove with vibrotactile actuators and flexbend sensor.…”

“…AHNE consists of a physical 3D space, which contains objects that can be searched for, grasped, and moved in that space. An initial user study about interaction with AHNE [21] revealed three types of user reactions: 1) Confusion and surprise, reflecting unfamiliarity with body tracking technologies and sound cues, but also attraction due to its novelty; 2) Exploratory affordances, revealing potential exploratory usage paradigms for the system through everyday objects; and 3) Emotional experience of the interaction, reflecting the personal relationship with the objects.…”

Augmented reality (AR) systems enable new user experiences while the user is interacting with virtual objects in the physical space. The virtual objects have mostly been presented visually, overlaid on the physical world. In this paper, we present an explorative user study of a prototype system AHNE with the aim to understand the user experience and usage potential of non-visual audio-tactile augmented reality interactions. The qualitative results reveal that non-visual interaction was experienced confusing at first, but also fun, playful, and exciting. Even though audio feedback clearly dominates the spatial interaction experience, tactile feedback makes the virtual objects feel more concrete. The ideated and evaluated set of 23 usage scenarios includes both game-like and pragmatic application ideas for individual and social usage. The results can be used to inform the design of novel AR applications that utilise human senses beyond vision.
