Haptics and embodiment

In this project we study the role of haptic feedback on virtual embodiment in a context of active and fine manipulation. In particular, we explore which haptic cue, with varying ecological validity, has more influence on virtual embodiment. In the experiment, force-feedback was more ecological as it matched reality more closely, while vibrotactile feedback was more symbolic. Taken together, our results show significant superiority of force-feedback over no haptic feedback regarding embodiment, and significant superiority of force-feedback over the other two conditions regarding subjective performance. Those results suggest that a more ecological feedback is better suited to elicit embodiment during fine manipulation tasks.
