HAPTIC-ENABLED WEARABLE DEVICE FOR GENERATING A HAPTIC EFFECT IN AN IMMERSIVE REALITY ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

An apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium are presented for providing haptic effects for an immersive reality environment. The method comprises receiving an indication that a haptic effect is to be generated for an immersive reality environment being executed by an immersive reality module. The method further comprises determining a type of immersive reality environment being generated by the immersive reality module, or a type of device on which the immersive reality module is being executed. The method further comprises controlling a haptic output device of a haptic-enabled wearable device to generate the haptic effect based on the type of immersive reality environment being generated by the immersive reality module, or the type of device on which the immersive reality module is being executed.
