  Although it has been shown that augmented multimodal feedback has a
facilitatory effect on motor performance for motor learning and music training,
the functionality of haptic feedback combined with other modalities in rhythmic
movement tasks has rarely been explored and analysed. In this paper, we
evaluate the functionality of visual-haptic feedback in a rhythmic sketch task
by comparing it with other multimodal conditions. Further, we examine the
possibility of accessing the quality of task execution through kinematic
analysis. Based on participants' speed profiles, we investigate the quality of
motor control and movement smoothness under different feedback conditions.
Results revealed better motor control ability with auditory feedback and
improved movement smoothness with haptic feedback. Finally, we propose that
haptic feedback can be integrated with other modal stimuli for different
interaction purposes, and that kinematic analysis can be a complementary
approach to gesture analysis as well as providing subjective evaluation of
interaction performance.
