Effects of an Adaptive Modality Selection Algorithm for Navigation Systems
summary
An algorithm called adaptive modality selection dynamically chooses visual or haptic cues using task-aware rules (avoid visual when visual attention is needed, avoid haptic when hands or haptic signals are required) and a time-based anti-habituation rule to switch every five minutes. A 32-participant lab study in a horror-themed navigation task finds the adaptive system yields 6–20% better navigation and improved secondary-task performance under concurrent tasks, but is slower than haptic or multimodal when no secondary task is present. The haptic belt provides fastest baseline navigation but poor global location awareness.
