Feeling Creepy: A Haptic Haunted House

This study explores how the addition of haptics to a haunted house can enhance its perceived immersiveness, novelty, and creepiness. The study builds upon a previously designed haptic display and vibrotactile signals inspired by natural phenomena. These were combined with video, audio, and additional haptics to create a multimodal narrative experience. In a subsequent questionnaire, nineteen of the twentytwo participants reported that the haptic effects increased their sense of immersion.
