“…Most studies exploring haptic vest usage have either focused on the development process of the equipment or the development of applications relating to the use of haptic feedback for the navigation and guidance of users in unknown environments using vibrotactile stimulation or thermal actuators . Haptic vests have been used in a number of different training scenarios, including tactical training, medicine, rehabilitation, and serious games used in learning environments …”

“…13 Haptic vests have been used in a number of different training scenarios, including tactical training, 14 medicine, 15 rehabilitation, 16 and serious games used in learning environments. 17 It is believed that the appropriate haptic pattern of a vibration produced by a haptic vest may be an important factor in improving the level of realism provided for the user. 18 In addition, it has been found that the pattern of the haptic feedback can be quite useful for transmitting information.…”

In this study, we compare haptic feedback and nonhaptic feedback conditions in which virtual characters bump into the participant who is immersed in a virtual environment. A questionnaire was developed to determine the influence of haptic feedback on a number of concepts (presence, embodiment, positive and negative affect, interaction realism with virtual character, and haptic feedback realism). Physiological data were also collected using galvanic skin response (GSR) to investigate the influence of haptic feedback on physiological arousal during human–virtual character interaction. Five conditions were developed (no haptic feedback, full intensity, half intensity, incorrect position, and delayed timing) to determine which aspects of haptic feedback are most important in influencing participant responses. Significant differences were found in embodiment, realism of virtual character interaction, and haptic feedback realism. In addition, significant differences were found in GSR amplitude after the first interaction with the virtual character. Implications for further research are discussed.

“…In this study, a tactile vest was used to induce the contact sensation during close interactions with virtual characters. Tactile vests have been used in various domains, including human–virtual character interactions, 7 training, 49 medicine, 50 rehabilitation, 51 and serious games 52,53 . In this case, we investigated how a participant's movement behavior was affected as they walked within a virtual crowd of people, with tactile feedback being generated every time a virtual character collided with the invisible presence of the participant.…”

The aim of our study was to investigate whether different tactile feedback conditions could affect the behavior of participants who were instructed to walk within a virtual reality environment surrounded by a virtual crowd of people. A road crossing scenario that takes place in a virtual metropolitan city was developed for this study. Participants were asked to walk toward the opposite sidewalk while wearing a tactile vest. At each road crossing, one of several tactile feedback conditions was generated, including No Tactile, Side Tactile, Back Tactile, Front Tactile, Accurate Tactile, and Random Tactile. During the virtual road crossing, the movement of the participants was captured, and movement‐related measurements were extracted and analyzed to evaluate the effects of tactile feedback on the participant's movement behavior. Additional data were collected through the distribution of a questionnaire to consider self‐reported ratings of the experimental conditions. The results revealed that tactile feedback conditions had significant effects on movement behavior, while the participants' ratings also indicated that they were affected by the tactile feedback conditions. We found that when the participants were immersed in a high‐density crowd simulation, they became sensitive to tactile feedback. However, they were not able to distinguish between the accurate feedback and the random feedback.

“…Deng et al concluded that haptics introduce one more dimension of sensory modality for a more immersive game experience [27]. In the same way, Hou et al highlighted that haptics may be used to simulate an immersive and realistic virtual environment [29]. Beyond the incontestable advantages mentioned, noting that one of the main advantages of a SG is in its ability to exceed the limits of the real word, we argue that haptics can be relevant for the rendering of information that is not represented (or is under represented) in the real world.…”

Integration of haptics in Serious Games (SGs) remains limited compared to vision and audio. Many works seem to limit haptic interactions to the mimicking of real life feelings. Here, we address this by investigating the use of haptics to promote learning outcomes in serious games. By analyzing how we learn, we proposed a model that identifies three learning outcomes: (1) engage the user with the content of the game, (2) develop technical skills, and (3) develop cognitive skills. For each learning skill, we show how haptic interactions may be exploited. We also show that the proposed model may be used to describe and to evaluate existing methods. It may also help in the designing of new methods that take advantage of haptics to promote learning outcomes.
