Abstract

The application ofmulti-modal interactivity in virtual reality (VR) avails ahost of
advantages which includes enhancement of realism and the achievement of
interactivity that is relatively close or identical to the conventional human
interactions. Haptics, visual and aural interactions have been widely applied in
various domains for numerous purposes, ranging from the medical industry to
engineering/auto mobile industry. The proliferation of virtual reality stress therapy
applications particularly in the attempt towards the virtualization of foot reflexology
therapy through the four key components for design which includes the virtual world,
immersion, sensory feedback and interactivity. However, very little is understood on
the haptic, visual and aural interactive nature, corresponding to user activities in the
therapy and to what extent they contribute in relaxation and stress relief.
