What is it about?
Emotion plays a key role in the emerging wave of immersive, multi-sensory audience news engagement experiences. In this work we explore how augmenting news video watching with haptics can influence affective perceptions of news. Findings showed: (a) news valence and emotion intensity ratings were not affected by haptics, (b) no stimulation was more comfortable than including stimulation, (c) attention and engagement with the news can override haptic sensations, and (d) users’ perceived agency over their reactions is critical to avoid distrust. We contribute cautionary insights for haptic augmentation of the news watching experience.
