Multimodal interactions in traditional foot reflexology

The application of multimodal interactivity in HCI and VR avails a host of advantages which includes enhancement of realism and the achievement of interactivity that is relatively close or identical to the conventional human to human interactions. Visual and aural interactions have been widely appli...
