Systems and methods for pressure-based haptic effects

摘要

One illustrative system disclosed herein includes a sensor configured to detect a user interaction with a touch surface and transmit a sensor signal including data associated with a pressure of the user interaction. The illustrative system also includes a processor in communication with the sensor, the processor configured to: receive the sensor signal; determine, based on the sensor signal, a pressure level; determine a user interface level based at least in part on the pressure level; perform a function associated with the user interface level and the user interaction; determine a haptic effect based at least in part on the user interface level and the user interaction; generate a haptic signal based at least in part on the haptic effect; and transmit the haptic signal. The illustrative system further includes a haptic output device in configured to receive the haptic signal and output the haptic effect.

1. A system comprising:
a sensor configured to detect an interaction with a touch surface and transmit a sensor signal indicating a pressure of the interaction; a processor in communication with the sensor; a memory on which instructions executable by the processor are stored to cause the processor to:
transmit a display signal configured to cause a display device to display a virtual representation of a physical object;determine, based on the sensor signal, that the interaction is at a location on the touch surface corresponding to the virtual representation of the physical object;based on the interaction being at the location and the pressure of the interaction being a first amount of pressure, determine a first haptic effect configured to simulate a physical exterior of the physical object;generate a first haptic signal based on the first haptic effect;based on the interaction being at the location and the pressure of the interaction being a second amount of pressure that is different from the first amount of pressure, determine a second haptic effect configured to simulate a physical interior of the physical object; andgenerate a second haptic signal based on the second haptic effect; and a haptic output device in communication with the processor, the haptic output device configured to receive the first haptic signal and the second haptic signal and output the first haptic effect and the second haptic effect, respectively.
