Official title
Investigating the Role of Haptic Feedback in Virtual Reality Learning Environments for Literacy Acquisition
Overview
The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of non-invasive wearable haptic feedback, in supporting literacy-focused Virtual Reality (VR) learning environments. The haptic feedback will be delivered through haptic gloves with integrated vibration monitors and finger tracking. The primary objective is to examine how multisensory engagement, specifically the addition of haptic cues, influences learning outcomes such as phonetic recognition, spelling, and reading skills in early learners.
Interventions
- Behavioral Haptic-Integrated Interactive Virtual Reality Experience
Participants will use haptic gloves to interact with the virtual reality experience - Behavioral Traditional Virtual Reality Experience (Hand Controllers)
Participants will use traditional hand controllers to interact with the virtual reality experience
Primary outcome measures
- Literacy Task Performance [Time frame: Immediately after the intervention session]
