Haptic sensations can be induced without requiring haptic devices through pseudo-haptic feedback by the influence of another sensory modality, such as vision. In this paper, we propose two novel approaches that combine pseudo-haptic feedback with visual and tactile vibrations in order to augment the overall haptic sensation. We would like to investigate the integration of pseudo-haptic feedback with vibratory feedback. The first technique enhances pseudo-haptic textures with a stripe pattern that provides a vibro-tactile stimulus. The second technique modulates the perceived material stiffness of a virtual object using vibratory models for visual and tactile feedback, introducing novel pseudo-haptic effect based on visual vibrations.
