Abstract
A method of generating event identifiers includes receiving sensor information from tracked entities. Based on the sensor information for tracked entities, an event can be determined. An event ID can be assigned to the event based on the type of event that was determined. The event ID can be sent to a haptically enabled device, the device outputting a haptic effect determined from the event ID.

(canceled)
A method for applying a haptic effect, the method comprising:
- receiving sensor output based on sensor information from a sensor on an object;
- capturing a haptic event from the sensor output in a packet containing metadata for the sensor, the packet being used to generate a haptic signal;
- and
- applying the haptic effect by processing the haptic signal.
A method for applying a haptic effect, the method comprising:
- receiving sensor output based on sensor information from a sensor on an object;
- capturing a haptic event from the sensor output;
- assigning an event ID to the haptic event;
- generating a haptic signal based on the event ID and a force element, the force element being metadata associated with the event ID, a parameter specified by the event ID or a parameter separate from the event ID;
- and
- applying the haptic effect by processing the haptic signal.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which is encoded instructions when executed by one or more processors configure the one or more processors to:
- receiving sensor output based on sensor information from a sensor on an object;
- capturing a haptic event from the sensor output in a packet containing metadata for the sensor, the packet being used to generate a haptic signal;
- and
- applying a haptic effect by processing the haptic signal.
