A system comprising:

• a receiver, configured to receive a first media stream from a first terminal and a second media stream from a second terminal, the second terminal being different from the first terminal;
• a media processing module, configured to decode the first media stream to obtain a first content in a playable format, and decoding the second media stream to obtain a second content in the playable format, and configured to associate the first media stream and the second media streams with a first identifier and a second identifier, respectively, the first identifier and/or the second identifier being one identifier among a group of predetermined identifiers;
• a haptic module, configured to generate a first initial haptic signal based on the first content and the associated first identifier, and generating a second initial haptic signal based on the second content and the associated second identifier;
• a machine-learning module, configured to process, by a machine-learning module, the first content to generate a first analysis on the first content, and processing the second content to generate a second analysis on the second content;
• a haptic driver, configured to modulate the first initial haptic signal according to the first analysis to output a first haptic control signal, and modulating the second initial haptic signal according to the second analysis to output a second haptic control signal;
• and
• an actuator, configured to be driven according to the first haptic control signal and/or the second haptic control signal.

A method comprising:

• receiving a plurality of media streams, each of the plurality of media streams from a different one of a plurality of terminals;
• decoding the plurality of media streams to obtain a plurality of contents in playable formats;
• associating each of the plurality of media streams with a corresponding identifier, the corresponding identifier selected from a group of predetermined identifiers;
• generating a plurality of initial haptic signals based on the plurality of contents and the associated corresponding identifiers;
• processing the plurality of contents to generate a plurality of analysis;
• modulating the plurality of initial haptic signals according to the plurality of analysis to output a plurality of haptic control signals;
• and
• actuating the plurality of haptic control signals.
