TACIT is an interdisciplinary R&D project developing a cohesive VR experience driven by haptic cues that create a complete emotional arc. While haptic sensation is widely used for simulation, training, and basic sensory feedback, we specifically investigate its potential in shaping emotional moments in virtual reality using vibrotactile sensations from haptic gloves.
Each part of our rapid prototyping and playtesting driven design will be guided by one key question: “Does haptic interaction, combined with visuals and sound, evoke the intended emotion?” First, we will focus on prototyping a variety of haptic patterns to identify moments with strong emotional potential. Afterwards, we will design and build out a VR experience where haptic moments are meaningfully integrated and essential to the emotional impact of the overall journey.
