Designing Preparatory Haptics: Relational Timing and Bodily Anticipation in Industrial Driving Contexts 1: School of Design, Hunan University; 2: School of Design and Art, Hunan University of Technology and Business; 3: Innovation Institute of Industrial Design and Machine Intelligence, Hunan University, Quanzhou In safety-critical industrial contexts, visual alerts often fail under high cognitive load. This paper introduces Preparatory Haptics, framing haptic timing as a relational medium that reshapes bodily anticipation. We developed a wearable haptic prototype synchronized with auditory cues to investigate how temporal coordination and vibration modes influence attention and readiness. A driving-simulation study showed that advance-timing haptic cues foster proactive anticipation, whereas sustained vibrations are perceived as bodily resonance rather than interference, particularly under complex task conditions. These findings ground the Preparatory Haptics Framework, which treats temporal materiality as a generative element of embodied interaction and offers theoretical and practical guidance for anticipatory alert design in safety-critical systems.
