This research quantitatively analyzed the effects of aroma on human haptic perception via psychophysical experiments. Although previous studies had suggested the interaction between olfaction and haptics, the verification was not sufficient since the experimental stimuli and evaluation criterion were not strictly controlled. In this work, an aroma releaser and a force-feedback device were introduced to precisely control the spatiotemporal presentation of aroma and the haptic surface properties. Adjustment method was used to explore which aroma influenced which haptic perception to what extent. The results indicated that different types of aroma had different effects on elements of haptic sense, such as stiffness and roughness. It suggests that crossmodal information such as an olfactory-haptic mixture may enhance the sense of presence and create a broader range of sensory expressions.
