Haptic feedback (using the sense of touch) or 'haptics' is a technology that provides forced feedback, vibrations, and/or motions to haptic-enabled user devices. The mobile haptic interaction model for a point to destination pedestrian navigation system is described. The importance of eyes-free, subtle feedback has been highlighted in previous work. This paper reports on the initial findings from the tests carried out to evaluate the user’s spatial abilities, navigations skills and memory recall of features seen along the way. Initial results show that the user walks faster to the destination on the second attempt and builds a good mental map of the features seen along the route as haptic feedback ensures heads-up navigation and no interaction with the mobile device (a GPS enabled smart phone) while walking towards the destination.
