Abstract
An experiment was conducted to compare the accuracy of participants' visual-spatial judgments of the aspect angle of a simulated ship floating on water when estimates were made either verbally or haptically. It was expected that a haptic response would reduce errors caused by verbal mediation or the translation from visual perception to verbal response. Results indicated that haptic responses were more accurate, but only when a simple stimulus was viewed. Implications for improving accuracy when reporting visual-spatial information and for interface design, as well areas for future research, are discussed.
