PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide haptic feedback to modular computing devices through the use of mechanical vibrations.SOLUTION: A haptic output device 140 includes module holders 132b configured to couple the haptic output device to a computing device 101. The computing device includes an outer housing 120 configured to mechanically and electrically couple with one or more external electronic modules 134, 136. The haptic output device also includes a receiver configured to receive a haptic signal from a processor 128. The processor is configured to: receive a signal; determine a haptic effect based in part on the signal; generate the haptic signal based on the haptic effect; and transmit the haptic signal. The haptic output device is configured to output the haptic effect in response to receiving the haptic signal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
