## Summary

A survey on haptic technologies for mobile augmented reality. This comprehensive survey delves into the research issues surrounding human-computer interaction in Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) applications with a particular emphasis on haptic feedback. The authors explore human sensing capabilities relevant to AR applications before categorizing haptic devices into cutaneous/tactile (touch-based) and kinesthetic (motion-based) groups. They then examine wearable haptic devices within each category to assess their potential for enhancing AR experiences. The paper concludes by discussing future paths for incorporating haptic feedback into MAR applications while addressing associated challenges. By expanding our understanding of human-computer interaction in this context and exploring innovative haptic technologies, we can unlock new possibilities for immersive AR experiences on mobile platforms.
