ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the impact of multimodal feedback (visual, haptic, and auditory) in the mindfulness mode of smartwatches on user engagement and emotional responses. Based on the findings, it aims to propose design directions for effective multimodal interfaces. The research methodology consists of a literature review to establish a theoretical foundation, followed by a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys and in-depth interviews. Survey questions were designed based on flow theory and four key aspects of user experience, and a comparative analysis was conducted based on usage frequency. The results indicate that frequent smartwatch users exhibit significantly higher levels of engagement and emotional response to sensory feedback compared to infrequent users (p<0.05), with auditory feedback being the most effective stimulus for inducing engagement. Additionally, qualitative analysis reveals that the contribution of each feedback type to engagement and sensory response varies depending on user context. This study underscores the necessity of incorporating multimodal feedback in mindfulness-focused smartwatch interfaces and proposes design strategies to enhance user immersion.
