Abstract: Multimodal interactivity when supported in a foot reflexology virtual reality environment has the potential to relieve stress. Current works leading to the development of such an environment have focused on creating models involving human to human (H-to-H) interactions which later could be used as design requirements. The goal is to translate these requirements and lay foundation for the future foot reflexology virtual reality stress therapy (VRST) application. Despite the intention, the development missed an important activity that is feedback from those experts in the domain. This paper closes the gap by presenting an expert review to the multimodal H-to-H interaction model as a form of validation. Eight experts from the human computer interaction (HCI) domain or related field reviewed and provided feedback on the model. The reviews were utilised to reconstruct the multimodal H-to-H interaction model, consequently yielding a final validated model for foot reflexology VRST application.
