Abstract

This paper seeks to determine if multimodal feedback, from auditory and haptic stimuli, can affect a user’s perceived exertion in a virtual reality setting. A simple virtual environment was created in the style of a desert to minimize the amount of visual distractions; a head mounted display was used to display the environment. Users would in the real world drive a Combi Bike and the velocity generated was translated to a vehicle in the virtual environment, moving it forward on a predetermined path. Each user traversed a total of eight hills, two in each of the four conditions. The perceived exertion was measured several times during each condition using the Borg Scale. The results show that there is no significant difference between the four conditions, which had different combinations of auditory and haptic feedback.
