\noindent Most of the haptic augmentations of tangible surfaces using with wearable haptic devices, including roughness of textures (\secref[related_work]{texture_rendering}), have been studied without a visual feedback, and none have considered the influence of the visual rendering on their perception or integrated them in \AR and \VR (\secref[related_work]{texture_rendering}).
|
|
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.
|
|
To do so, we used the visuo-haptic system presented in \chapref{vhar_system} to render virtual vibrotactile patterned textures (\secref[related_work]{texture_rendering}) to augment the tangible surface being touched.% touched by the finger.% that can be directly touched with the bare 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.

\noindentskip The contributions of this chapter are:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item A psychophysical user study with 20 participants to evaluate the effect of visual hand rendering in \OST-\AR or \VR on the perception of haptic roughness texture augmentations, using wearable vibrotactile haptics.
|
|
\item A discussion and recommendations on the integration of wearable haptic augmentations in direct touch context with \AR and \VR.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\noindentskip In the remainder of this chapter, we first describe the experimental design and apparatus of the user study.
|
|
We then present the results obtained, discuss them, and outline recommendations for future \AR/\VR works using wearable haptic augmentations.
|
|
|
|
%First, we present a system for rendering virtual vibrotactile textures in real time without constraints on hand movements and integrated with an immersive visual \AR/\VR headset to provide a coherent multimodal visuo-haptic augmentation of the \RE.
|
|
%An experimental setup is then presented to compare haptic roughness augmentation with an optical \AR headset (Microsoft HoloLens~2) that can be transformed into a \VR headset using a cardboard mask.
|
|
%We then conduct a psychophysical study with 20 participants, where various virtual haptic textures on a tangible surface directly touched with the finger are compared in a two-alternative forced choice (2AFC) task in three visual rendering conditions: (1) without visual augmentation, (2) with a realistic virtual hand rendering in \AR, and (3) with the same virtual hand in \VR.
