The objective of this study is to test the correlation between a Physical Task and a Digital Task through integrated sensory feedback mechanism in Virtual Build Methodology. The research question posed regards whether the pressure feedback mechanism in Virtual Build Methodology proposes high fidelity for push-pull tasks. There are many research studies that have been done on DHM, MOCAP, VR and Haptic interfaces individually, but integrating those with a tactile feedback mechanism is still challenging. While being increasingly used, the Virtual Build Methodology has not been studied regarding its human integration through a multi-sensory feedback system. It may seem intuitive, but disregarded many times, that the tactile feedback mechanism is essential for product design and development practices. This study aims to fill this gap by introducing a pressure based sensory feedback system to provide a higher fidelity in virtual product design practices.
