Extended-reality controller for providing different haptic feedback events based on positions and magnitudes of user inputs, and systems, devices, and methods of use thereof

A method, comprising:

• at a computing device in electronic communication with a controller for an extended-reality device:
• detecting:
• via one or more force sensors of the controller, an input that includes a magnitude of force being applied in a direction normal to a plane defined by a portion of a housing of the controller, and
• a position of the input relative to the plane defined by the portion of the housing;
• selecting, according to the position of the input, a first force sensing region from a plurality of force sensing regions, each force sensing region in the plurality of force sensing regions defined by a corresponding tilt angle range of a portion of the controller relative to the plane;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the magnitude of force of the input and the position of the input satisfy a positionally-specific predefined force value assigned to the first force sensing region, causing a haptic feedback to be provided at the controller,
• wherein,
• the haptic feedback is selected from among a set of available haptic feedback events for the controller based on both the magnitude of force of the input, and the position of the input, and
• the haptic feedback is dynamically adjusted based on the force magnitude of the input and a position of a portion of the controller within the first force sensing region.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a computing device that is in electronic communication with a controller for an extended-reality device, cause the computing device to:

• detect:
• via one or more force sensors of the controller, an input that includes a magnitude of force being applied in a direction generally normal to a plane defined by a portion of a housing of the controller, and
• a position of the input relative to the plane defined by the portion of the housing;
• select, according to the position of the input, a first force sensing region from a plurality of force sensing regions, each force sensing region in the plurality of force sensing regions defined by a corresponding tilt angle range of a portion of the controller relative to the plane;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the magnitude of force of the input and the position of the input satisfy a positionally-specific predefined force value assigned to the first force sensing region, cause a haptic feedback to be provided at the controller,
• wherein,
• the haptic feedback is selected from among a set of available haptic feedback events for the controller based on both the magnitude of force of the input, and the position of the input, and
• the haptic feedback is dynamically adjusted based on the force magnitude of the input and a position of a portion of the controller within the first force sensing region.
