Abstract
Systems and methods for providing resistive and vibrotactile feedback from a single actuator are described. One described system comprises a manipulandum, and a resistive haptic actuator configured to generate a resistive haptic force in order to generate a vibrotactile haptic effect.
Claims38
A device comprising:
- a manipulandum;
- and
- a resistive haptic actuator coupled to the manipulandum, the resistive haptic actuator configured to generate a resistive haptic force in order to provide a vibrotactile effect.
A method comprising:
- receiving an actuator signal, the actuator signal comprising a force effect parameter;
- and
- generating a resistive force associated with the force effect parameter, the resistive force configured to cause a vibrotactile effect to be output.
