PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide devices with targeted actuators coupled to user input elements such that the haptic effect is transmitted to the elements.SOLUTION: A haptic peripheral comprises a housing, a user input element, a position sensor coupled to the element, and an actuator located within the housing and coupled to the element. The position sensor is configured to detect a position of the user input element and to send the position to a processor. The actuator is configured to receive a haptic effect drive signal from the processor and to output a force in response to the haptic effect drive signal from the processor. The force is transmitted to the user input element as a kinesthetic haptic effect. The haptic peripheral may include a mechanical amplification system coupled to the actuator and configured to increase the force output by the actuator. The increased force is transmitted from the mechanical amplification system to the user input element as a kinesthetic haptic effect. |
