 In \VST-\AR, \textcite{knorlein2009influence} rendered a virtual piston using force-feedback haptics that participants pressed directly with their hand (\figref{visuo-haptic-stiffness}).
 In a \TIFC task (\secref{sensations_perception}), participants pressed two pistons and indicated which was stiffer.
-One had a reference stiffness but an additional visual or haptic delay, while the other varied with a comparison stiffness but had no delay. \footnote{Participants were not told about the delays and stiffness tested, nor which piston was the reference or comparison. The order of the pistons (which one was pressed first) was also randomized.}

 Adding a visual delay increased the perceived stiffness of the reference piston, while adding a haptic delay decreased it, and adding both delays cancelled each other out (\figref{knorlein2009influence_2}).
