With the advancement of haptic technology, the use of pseudo-haptics to provide tactile feedback without physical contact has garnered significant attention. This paper aimed to investigate whether sliding fingers over onomatopoetic text strings with pseudo-haptic effects induces change in perception toward their symbolic semantics. To address this, we conducted an experiment using finger-point reading as our subject matter. The experimental results confirmed that the “neba-neba,” “puru-puru,” and “fusa-fusa” effects create a pseudo-haptic feeling for the associated texts on the “hard–soft,” “slippery–sticky,” and “elastic–inelastic” adjective pairs. Specifically, for “hard–soft,” it was found that the proposed effects could consistently produce an impact. Full article
