SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING HAPTIC EFFECTS BASED ON A USER'S MOTION OR ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

One illustrative system disclosed herein includes a system that comprises a sensor, a memory, and a processor in communication with each of these elements. The sensor can capture information about a user's motion or environment at a point in time associated with a content and transmit a signal about the captured user motion or environment to the processor. The processor determines a haptic effect associated with the detected user motion or environment. The processor can also transmit a haptic signal associated with the haptic effect to be output at the particular time during output of the content. The illustrative system also includes a haptic output device configured to receive the haptic signal and output the haptic effect.
