INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
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.
