This paper outlines a study into the effects of colocation 1 of haptic and visual sensory modes in VR simulations. The study hypothesis is that co-location of these sensory modes will lead to improved task performance and enhanced sense of presence within a VR environment. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect on user performance of co-located haptic feedback. Results show that co-location is an important factor, and when coupled with haptic feedback the performance of the user is greatly improved.
