- Non-visual Extended Reality (XR) experiences rely on multimodal cues—such as spatial audio and haptic feedback—to enable children to successfully navigate and interact with digital content without visual representations.
- When feedback cues become ambiguous or inconsistent, children's engagement becomes fragile, often leading to immediate hesitation, frustration, or a breakdown in the 'interaction contract' between the user and the system.
- Multimodal feedback is essential for sense-making in non-visual environments, as it provides clear, immediate confirmation that a user's physical actions have been registered by the system.
