| Abstract: | This master thesis aimed to investigate the role of haptic devices in Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) systems, while specifically focusing on their relation to the mental responses of immersion and presence.The thesis followed a scoping review methodology aligned with the principles of the JBI scoping review methodology and used the PRISMA-ScR checklist. Sources of evidence were collected from Web of Science, Scopus as well as IEEE Xplore. The final corpus consisted of 44 conference sources and 25 journal articles. The Covidence screening tool was utilized to screen sources and perform intercoder reliability testing. Sources were organized into five groups and the analysis outlined three specific areas of application: Learning, Leisure and culture, and Design and Evaluation. Results: The results, presented in the form of narrative summaries and tables, outlined that haptics essentially had a positive impact on users’ immersion and presence in IVR systems. Conclusion: Overall, this thesis highlighted the positive effect of haptic devices on users’ feeling of immersion and presence in IVR systems, in fields such as medical skills training. This thesis is among the few scoping reviews in the field of IVR, and the first, to summarize and disseminate research findings in the field of haptic devices in IVR while focusing on the immersion and presence. |
