We quantitatively evaluate how electrostatic force feedback can be used to enhance, in particular targeting, where virtual objects rendered on touchscreens can offer tactile feedback. We conducted a Fitt’s Law style user study and explored three haptic modalities: No feedback, Physical, and Electrostatic. The result shows that electrostatic haptic feedback can improve targeting speed by 7.5% compared to conventional flat touchscreens.
