The method and apparatus enables a user to "feel" remote objects depicted in a visual scene. Exemplary embodiments of the invention detect image texture in a digital scene and generate tactile feedback control signals as a function of the detected image texture. In one exemplary embodiment, edge detection techniques are used to detect discontinuities in the digital scene, such as sharp changes in image luminous intensity. Tactile feedback is produced responsive to the tactile feedback control signals by a tactile feedback device. The tactile feedback may be in the form of a vibration and the tactile feedback device may be a vibrator. The strength of intensity of the vibration may be varied depending on the discontinuities in the digital scene.
