Studies on Narrative Comprehension with Haptics
A critical gap identified: none of the 10 included studies used validated quantitative measures for narrative comprehension, indicating an understudied dimension of haptics' impact.
Case Study: Sympathetic Haptic Feedback for Empathy
Hecquard et al. [14] demonstrated that mapping a virtual presenter's simulated heart rate and breathing patterns onto a participant's body via haptics significantly enhanced empathy. This highlights haptics' role as a direct channel for physiological and emotional contagion, moving users from passive observers to active participants. This manual approach, while effective, underscores the need for AI to scale such nuanced emotional experiences.

Phased Implementation: AI-Powered Haptics
A structured approach for integrating AI-powered haptics into your VR development lifecycle, ensuring a smooth transition and measurable impact.
Phase I: Data, Tools & Metrics
Establish foundational data, open-source toolkits (e.g., 'HapTale' for Unity), and standardized metrics, including narrative comprehension measures, to create shareable event-to-haptic corpora with detailed metadata.
Phase II: Head-to-Head Efficacy Studies
Conduct preregistered non-inferiority trials comparing AI-generated haptics against manual authoring, with a 'no-haptics' baseline. Focus on presence, immersion, affect, and narrative comprehension, while accounting for authoring time.
Phase III: Closed-Loop Adaptivity & Contextual Moderators
Implement adaptive control using user biosignals (HR/EDA/gaze) for real-time haptic modulation. Explore the 'haptic uncanny valley' to optimize perceived realism, and establish rigorous safety and ethical reporting standards.
