Design and Evaluation of Multimodal Feedback in Human–Computer Interaction


Status: Research Project (2023–2026)
Institution: College of Design Art, Xiamen University of Technology
Supervisors: Professor Gang Ren and Professor Gang Wang

This research explored the design and evaluation of multimodal feedback, particularly visual and haptic feedback, across different human–computer interaction contexts. The research covered applications in road safety, drone operation, sports training, visual search, and multitasking, involving sanitation workers, cyclists, visually impaired pedestrians, and other user groups. Through interaction design, prototyping, and user experiments, it investigated how different feedback modalities influence situational awareness, attention, task performance, and user experience.
