Systems and methods for mapping message contents to virtual physical properties for vibrotactile messaging

摘要

Systems and methods for mapping message contents to virtual physical properties for vibrotactile messaging are disclosed. For example, one disclosed method includes the steps of receiving a sensor signal from a sensor, the sensor configured to detect an interaction with a messaging device, determining a virtual physical property of a virtual message object based at least in part on the sensor signal, determining a haptic effect based at least in part on the virtual physical parameter; and generating a haptic signal configured to cause an actuator to output the haptic effect.

1. A method comprising:
receiving a sensor signal from a sensor configured to sense an interaction with a first device; determining a virtual physical parameter based at least in part on the sensor signal; transmitting a signal associated with the virtual physical parameter to a second device; determining a haptic effect based at least in part on the virtual physical parameter; and generating a haptic signal configured to cause an actuator to output the haptic effect.
