— describes the types of methods that can be used for the evaluation of haptic devices and of systems that include haptic devices,

— specifies a procedure for the evaluation of haptic interactions by a usability walkthrough or usability test (see Annex J), and

— provides guidance on the types of methods that are appropriate for the evaluation of specific attributes of haptic systems, cross-referenced to the guidance in the relevant clauses of other International Standards (see Annexes A, B, C, D, E, F and G).

— augmented reality — information overlaid on a real scene, e.g. vibrating belt indicating distance;

— gesture control of a device or a virtual scenario;

— unidirectional interaction such as a vibrating phone or a vibrating belt;

— virtual environment — virtual space with which a user can interact with the aid of a haptic device.

— gesture sensor, e.g. video that discerns 3D hand movements, touch screens that sense 2D touches;

— kinaesthetic haptic device, e.g. desktop haptic interface;

— tactile display, e.g. vibrating phone.

— establishing benchmarks,

— establishing requirements for haptic interaction,

— identifying problems with haptic interaction (formative evaluation), and

— use of the criteria to establish whether a haptic system meets requirements (summative evaluation).
