Abstract
Systems and methods for providing voice-to-text haptic augmentation in a user interface are disclosed. For example, in one embodiment, a system for converting audible speech information to a haptic effect includes a microphone and a processor in communication with the microphone, the processor configured to receive an audio signal associated with a voice from the microphone, determine a characteristic of the audio signal, and generate an actuator signal based at least in part on the characteristic, the actuator signal configured to cause an actuator to output a haptic effect.
Claims40
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving an audio input signal associated with a voice;
- determining a characteristic associated with the audio input signal;
- determining a word associated with the audio input signal;
- and
- generating an actuator signal based at least in part on the characteristic and the word, the actuator signal configured to cause an actuator to output a first haptic effect.
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor in communication with the memory and configured to:
- receive an audio input signal associated with a voice;
- determine a characteristic associated with the audio input signal;
- determine a word associated with the audio input signal;
- and
- generate an actuator signal based at least in part on the characteristic and the word, the actuator signal configured to cause an actuator to output a first haptic effect.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving an audio input signal from a first user;
- determining a first characteristic associated with the audio input signal;
- receiving a sensor signal from a biosensor;
- determining a second characteristic associated with the sensor signal;
- and
- generating an actuator signal based at least in part on the first characteristic and the second characteristic, the actuator signal configured to cause an actuator to output a haptic effect.
