Dynamic haptic generation based on detected video events

A computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to generate haptic effects, the generating haptic effects comprising:

• receiving input media comprising at least video data;
• detecting a video event within the video data;
• collecting related data associated with the detected video event;
• configuring one or more feature parameters based on the collected related data;
• determining a type of the video event;
• selecting a set of feature parameters based on the type of video event;
• and
• generating a haptic effect based on the set of feature parameters.

A haptic effect generation system comprising:

• an event detector configured to receive input media comprising at least video data and detect a video event within the video data;
• and
• a data collector configured to collect related data associated with the detected video event;
• a parameter configurator configured to define one or more feature parameters based on the collected related data;
• a haptic effect generator configured to determine a type of the video event, select a set of feature parameters based on the type of video event, and dynamically generate a haptic effect, using an actuator system, based on the set of feature parameters.
