How a force feedback system impact user behavior

by Aidan Yuan

Why Force Feedback system?

Control and interaction

control all the appliances and interact with the surroundings

provides a haptic response

Promoting energy-saving behaviors

provide resistance to indicate that different system using different amounts of energy

Real-time statistics

providing real-time feedback on energy usage on the UI page

Informed decision-making

Real time energy usage

Haptic feedback when controlling

The impact of a force feedback system

Awareness

Real-time feedback on the amount of energy usage
Impact of their actions

Convenience

Intuitive control
Adjust multiple devices

Incentives

Green point
Establish a reward system

Feedback loop

Encourages users to engage with the system

How Haptics trigger user response?

Tactile feedback

Provide physical sensation
Adjust behavior or make a decision based on the feedback

Sensory engagement

Engage the user's sense of touch
Pay more attention to the feedback

Emotional response

Trigger emotional response from the user
Emotional response influence the user's behavior and decision-making

Why we need a user experiment platform?

Designing effective smart home products
Meet the needs and preferences of users

Field oriented control (FOC)

Vector Control
Current Control
High Accuracy
Nonlinear Control
