TLDR
A mobile system that enhances mixed reality experiences and games with force feedback by means of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) while keeping the users' hands free to interact unencumbered, and demonstrates how this supports three classes of applications along the mixed-reality continuum.Abstract:
We present a mobile system that enhances mixed reality experiences and games with force feedback by means of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). The benefit of our approach is that it adds physical forces while keeping the users' hands free to interact unencumbered-not only with virtual objects, but also with physical objects, such as props and appliances. We demonstrate how this supports three classes of applications along the mixed-reality continuum: (1) entirely virtual objects, such as furniture with EMS friction when pushed or an EMS-based catapult game. (2) Virtual objects augmented via passive props with EMS-constraints, such as a light control panel made tangible by means of a physical cup or a balance-the-marble game with an actuated tray. (3) Augmented appliances with virtual behaviors, such as a physical thermostat dial with EMS-detents or an escape-room that repurposes lamps as levers with detents. We present a user-study in which participants rated the EMS-feedback as significantly more realistic than a no-EMS baseline.read more

Likert scales, levels of measurement and the "laws" of statistics.
TL;DR: It is shown that many studies, dating back to the 1930s consistently show that parametric statistics are robust with respect to violations of these assumptions, and parametric methods can be utilized without concern for “getting the wrong answer”.
