Integrating methodology for experimentation using commercial off-the-shelf products for haptic cueing

Abstract

Although haptic cueing is well researched, its effects on performance accuracy and workload are mixed (Hancock et al. 2013). As such, there is still a need to further develop our understanding of the effects of haptic cueing on performance and workload. The objective of this effort is to develop a cost-effective and non-invasive experimental methodology to investigate the effects of haptic cueing on unmanned aerial vehicle operator performance and workload utilizing commercial off-the-shelf products, specifically, Unity 3D™ - Game Engine and an Xbox 360™ controller.
