Abstract

We investigated the effect of haptic cues on working memory in 3D menu selection. We conducted a 3D menu selection task in two different conditions: visual only and visual with haptic. For the visual condition, participants were instructed to select 3D menu items and memorize the order of selection. For the visual with haptic condition, we used magnetic haptic effect on each 3D menu item. Results showed that participants needed less number of trials for memorizing the selection sequence in visual with haptic condition than in visual only condition. Subjective data, collected from a questionnaire, indicated that visual with haptic condition was more suitable for selection and memorization.
