发明名称 Interactive gaming systems with haptic feedback
摘要 Interactive gaming systems and methods with haptic feedback are described. One described apparatus comprises: a portable manipulandum configured to simulate an element associated with a sports activity; a sensor in communication with the portable manipulandum and configured to detect a movement of the portable manipulandum; an actuator disposed in the portable manipulandum; and a processor in communication with the sensor and the actuator. The processor is configured to receive a sensor signal from the sensor associated with the movement of the portable manipulandum and to output a control signal to the actuator based at least in part on the sensor signal. The control signal is configured to cause the actuator to output a haptic feedback associated with the movement of the portable manipulandum, e.g., simulating an impact between the portable manipulandum and an object.

主权项 1. An apparatus, comprising: a portable manipulandum configured to simulate an element associated with a physical activity; an actuator disposed in the portable manipulandum, wherein the actuator comprises one of a pager motor, an eccentric mass actuator, a harmonic eccentric mass actuator, an inertial mass harmonic actuator, a voice coil, a moving magnet actuator, a piezoelectric actuator, or an electro-active polymer actuator; a sensor in communication with the portable manipulandum and configured to detect a movement of the portable manipulandum; and a processor in communication with the sensor and the actuator, the processor configured to receive a sensor signal from the sensor associated with the movement of the portable manipulandum and to output a control signal to the actuator based at least in part on the sensor signal and haptic data in a lookup table, wherein the lookup table comprises a first data field and a second data field, wherein the first data field comprises a name of a haptic effect and the second data field comprises a portion of the haptic data, and wherein the control signal is configured to cause the actuator to output a haptic feedback associated with the movement of the portable manipulandum, the haptic feedback comprising a vibrotactile effect.
