“…In their study, participants felt an isometric input device as a compliant one when they used it while looking at a virtual spring on the screen. Lai et al [21] showed a possibility that sound feedback in response to a force change can create a compliance illusion on a rigid surface without using other modalities. As we mentioned earlier, there have been many studies where a short vibrotactile feedback was used to create the illusion of pressing a button [3]- [8].…”

A compliance illusion can be created if vibration bursts, which are called friction grains, are provided in response to changes in pressing force on a surface. This method has been used in many human-computer interaction applications. For instance, it can enrich virtual controls on a hand-held device with compliant feeling. One of the limitations of this method, however, is that the friction grains that it uses feel "bumpy" and "buzzing", which may pose a hurdle to the adoption of the method by consumer products where the affective quality of tactile feedback is important. As a solution to overcome this limitation, we examined an alternative compliance illusion method, which computes the time derivative of the force applied by the user, and uses it to modulate a base vibration signal. We conducted a magnitude estimation experiment and were successful in showing that the alternative method with a sinusoidal base vibration signal can create significantly less bumpy, less buzzing, and thereby less unpleasant tactile feedback compared with the grainbased method, while achieving the same level of a compliance illusion effect as the grain-based method.

“…It has also been used to convey information in order to reduce visual load or when vision is occupied. Furthermore, sound has been used to provide cross-modal feedback [2] or to enhance and alter the perceived physicality of a rigid surface [18]. Moreover, the capabilities of sonification for teaching gestures and providing feedback in learning process has been studied [1,21].…”

Shape-retaining freely-deformable interfaces can take innumerable distinct shapes, and creating specific target configurations can be a challenge. In this paper, we investigate how audio can guide a user in this process, through the use of either musical or metaphoric sounds. In a formative user study, we found that sound encouraged action possibilities and made the affordances of the interface perceivable. We also found that adding audio as a modality along with vision and touch, made a positive contribution to guiding users' interactions with the interface.

“…It has been found that audio and tactile augmentation can separately enrich the perceived physicality of voluntary actions performed with the hands [9,10], and they can support visual navigation in physical space, for example, in searching objects [14].…”

“…With regards to the specific experiences of audio in AHNE, the sound behaviour was experienced as logical and natural (easy and comprehensible) (10). Nine participants said that the sounds told something about their distance to the objects and helped with finding them.…”

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.
