Abstract
A system and method for enabling social dancing. The system comprising a movement registration module configured to monitor and identify movements by a participant; and a tactile feedback actuator configured to supply tactile feedback to the participant based on a determination by a logic module. The method performed by a computerized device, the method comprising: monitoring movements by a participant; determining feedback in response to the movements; and instructing a tactile feedback actuator to supply the feedback to the participant.
Claims19
A system comprising:
- a movement registration module configured to monitor and identify movements by a participant, wherein the movements are associated with a virtual physical interaction between the participant and a second participant, wherein the second participant is not physically located at a same location of the participant, wherein the movements comprise a pulling action where the participant pulls the second participant;
- and
- a tactile feedback actuator configured to supply tactile feedback to the participant based on a determination by a logic module of a feedback associated with the virtual physical interaction between the participant and the second participant, wherein said logic module is configured to determine response movements of the second participant in response to the movements by the participant based on the movements of the participant, wherein the feedback is determined based on the response movements of the second participant, and induce the feedback via said tactile feedback actuator;
- and
- wherein said tactile feedback actuator is configured to relay feedback commensurate with a virtual physical contact of the second participant with the participant.

A method comprising:
- monitoring and identifying movements by a participant, wherein the movements are associated with a virtual physical interaction between the participant and a second participant, wherein the second participant is not physically located at a same location of the participant, wherein the movements comprise a pulling action where the participant pulls the second participant;
- determining, based on the movements of the participant, response movements of the second participant in response to the movements by the participant;
- and
- supplying tactile feedback to the participant based on a determination of feedback associated with the virtual physical interaction, wherein the tactile feedback is determined based on the response movements of the second participant and commensurate with a virtual physical contact of the second participant with the participant.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a sensor capable of sensing a force applied by a participant's hand, wherein the force applied by the participant's hand is associated with a virtual physical interaction between the participant's hand and a second participant's hand, wherein the second participant is not physically located at a same location of the participant;
- a logic module configured to determine a reaction to the force by the second participant's hand;
- and
- a tactile feedback actuator configured to supply tactile feedback to the participant's hand based on the reaction, wherein said tactile feedback actuator is configured to relay feedback commensurate with a virtual physical contact of the second participant with the participant.
