The Effective Combination of Haptic and Auditory Textural Information

With the increasing availability and quality of auditory and haptic means of interaction, it is not unusual to incorporate many modalities in interfaces rather than the purely visual. The user can be powerfully affected however when information presented in different modalities are combined to become multimodal. Providing interface designers with the means to implement haptic-audio interfaces mi ght result in adverse effects to interaction unless they are also equipped with structured knowledge on how to select effective combinations of such information.
