History learning can help learners understand changes and establish identity. 360° videos can display complex history scenes, but limited to the visual and auditory. Passive haptic can provide tactile feedback by matching physical props to virtual counterparts. Utilizing passive haptic in 360° videos can create a diverse and rich experience but face matching problems because of perspective distortion. We propose using high-fidelity models and mapping videos to a cube space to solve this problem. The results of a 28 participants user study show that combining passive haptic with 360° videos enhances users' presence in historical experience.
