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