Interventions

  • Haptic-Integrated Interactive Virtual Reality Experience — BEHAVIORAL

  • Traditional Virtual Reality Experience (Hand Controllers) — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will use traditional hand controllers to interact with the virtual reality experience

Study Details

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.

Arms

  • Experimental: Haptics-integrated Interactive Virtual Reality
    Participants in this group will receive haptic feedback delivered through haptic gloves with integrated vibration monitors and finger tracking. Each session will last up to 10 minutes, and participants will go through up to 5 sessions
  • Active Comparator: Control Arm
    Participants in this group will receive the Virtual Reality (VR) delivered through controllers with vibration-based feedback paired with visual and auditory cues, with hand movements. Each session will last up to 10 minutes, and participants will go through up to 5 sessions.
