Still, it is known that the visual rendering of a tangible can influence the perception of its haptic properties (\secref[related_work]{visual_haptic_influence}), and that the perception of same haptic force-feedback or vibrotactile rendering can differ between \AR and \VR, probably due to difference in perceived simultaneity between visual and haptic stimuli (\secref[related_work]{ar_vr_haptic}).
Indeed, in \AR, the user can see their own hand touching, the haptic device worn and the \RE, while in \VR they are hidden by the \VE.
In this chapter, we investigate the \textbf{role of the visual virtuality} of the hand (real or virtual) and its environment (\AR or \VR) on the perception of a \textbf{tangible surface whose haptic roughness is augmented} with a wearable haptics.%voice-coil device worn on the finger.

We evaluated, in \textbf{user study with psychophysical methods and extensive questionnaire}, the perceived roughness augmentation in three visual rendering conditions: \textbf{(1) without visual augmentation}, in \textbf{(2) \OST-\AR with a realistic virtual hand} rendering, and in \textbf{(3) \VR with the same virtual hand}.
To control for the influence of the visual rendering, the tangible surface was not visually augmented and stayed the same in all conditions.

Surprisingly, the \PSE of the \level{Real} rendering was shifted to the right (to be "rougher", \percent{7.9}) compared to the reference texture, whereas the \PSEs of the \level{Virtual} (\percent{5.1}) and \level{Mixed} (\percent{1.9}) renderings were perceived as \enquote{smoother} and closer to the reference texture (\figref{results/trial_predictions}).
The sensitivity of participants to roughness differences also varied, with the \level{Real} rendering having the best \JND (\percent{26}), followed by the \level{Virtual} (\percent{30}) and \level{Virtual} (\percent{33}) renderings (\figref{results/trial_jnds}).

These \JND values are in line with and at the upper end of the range of previous studies \cite{choi2013vibrotactile}, which may be due to the location of the actuator on the top of the finger middle phalanx, being less sensitive to vibration than the fingertip.
Thus, compared to no visual rendering (\level{Real}), the addition of a visual rendering of the hand or environment reduced the roughness sensitivity (\JND) and the roughness perception (\PSE), as if the virtual vibrotactile textures felt \enquote{smoother}.
