The invention relates to a method, apparatus and system for producing haptic output. Data of a plurality of objects of a model are received. The data of the plurality of objects comprise information of dimensions of the objects and properties of the objects. Haptic instructions for a haptic output device are received for producing haptic output of the properties, and in accordance with the instructions, haptic output for the objects using the haptic instructions is produced. One or more mappings between properties of virtual objects and target haptic outputs may be formed into a haptic data structure, the haptic data structure comprising a plurality of haptic instructions indicative of mappings between properties and haptic outputs, the haptic data structure being configured for use in haptic output related to objects when a user is determined to interact with said objects. A data structure for controlling haptic output of a device may comprise one or more mappings between virtual reality model object properties and target haptic outputs, and one or more haptic instructions, the haptic instructions being intended for controlling a device to produce a defined haptic output for an object having a defined property. |
