dc.description.abstractAll people experience the world around them by receiving information through their senses. While vision and hearing are generally sufficient, there are occasions when these senses become overwhelmed or are simply unavailable. One potential solution is haptics, the use of touch to convey information, which has recently become widespread in wearable devices. To improve the ability of these wearable devices to encode detailed information, new types of haptic sensations are being researched and developed. This pursuit of detailed encoding of information in wearable haptics has driven the development of multi-sensory haptic devices which stimulate multiple haptic channels simultaneously. Despite the diversity of development in multi-sensory haptic devices, little is known about how simultaneous haptic cues interact with one another. Understanding how combinations of simultaneous cues may interact and interfere with one another is crucial for the creation of better wearables for the future. Therefore, for this thesis, I focus on the study of interference between haptic cues to inform the future implementation of haptic technology into wearable devices.en_US
