It was hypothesized that: (1) Participants assigned to Haptics + Visual will gather more information from the task.
(2) Haptic feedback will encourage more exploration of the simulator.
We hypothesize that the combination of haptic and visual feedback will play a large role in the learning and understanding of an unfamiliar task. This learning of task and opportunity to explore and practice complex concepts can increase both understanding of the task as well as the concepts in away that has not been tested before in depth

• Specialized equipment, supercomputing, etc
-Falcon (haptic feedback device)
-Simulation specifically designed for this study
-Has the ability to show all groups
• Haptics + Visual
• Haptics + No Visual
• No Haptics + Visual
NOTE: We are not currently testing No Haptics + No Visual but may need to should our results show the need for a control group of no additional support while completing the simulation
• Assessments created to test participants knowledge before and after simulation use
Fall 2020: HESS Study
Haptics + Visual n = 9
Haptics + No Visual n = 9
No Haptics + No Visual n = 9
-Having haptics on meant that the Falcon Driver would respond to simulation on the screen. The participant was able to feel the forces for each object/liquid combination they created.
-Having visual on meant that they were shown the opposing forces as arrows on the screen when they made any adjustments or movements to their object/liquid combination.
Results from this study are shown on the "NARST 2020 POSTER" page of this website.
