Abstract
Manual precise manipulation of objects is a critical skill in daily life, and Augmented Reality (AR) is increasingly used to support such tasks. In this study, we propose a system utilizing pseudo-haptic feedback to support precise manipulation for six degrees of freedom (6DOF). Two types of AR instruction interfaces were developed: Visual Deviation Instruction Interface (VDI) and Pseudo-Haptic Instruction Interface (PHI). A user study with 18 participants compared the two instruction interfaces in terms of performance and user experience. The objective measures of performance (task completion time, deviation), and the subjective measures (system usability scale, NASA Task Load Index) were collected. Results show that both instruction interfaces effectively support manual precise manipulation, achieving position deviations under 2 mm and orientation deviations under 1°. PHI outperformed VDI in speed, mental effort, physical demand, performance, perceived workload, custom user experience elements and reduction deviations of manual precise manipulation. Finally, we discuss research limitations and future directions.
