In this talk, I will present recent work on multichannel and multidimensional haptic displays that augment user experience—allowing users to feel stories through semantic cues in natural language, manipulate virtual objects with varying compliance and dynamic properties, and mitigate cybersickness through spatial haptics applied to the body.

Virtual reality (VR) and immersive media provide a unique experimental space for testing and extending psychological and communication theories. In this talk, I’ll walk through how immersive environments have been used to study human experience—not only as platforms for message delivery, but as media with their own psychological effects.
