Abstract

Non-visual methods of user guidance in visualisations are still relatively underexplored. This paper aims to address this, by establishing a foundation for appropriately using haptic force feedback in a pointing device to provide guidance, with a focus on pulling and constraining. To explore these guidance methods, a force feedback enabled mouse was constructed, along with a force feedback enabled data visualisation. A user study was conducted, subjecting the participants to different degrees of pulling and constraining guidance, helping them solve navigation tasks. The study found significant quantitative and qualitative changes in behaviour and experience across conditions. We conclude that these two modes of feedback can be used for directing and prescribing guidance situations, provided they are used with restraint.
