System and method for providing haptic stimulus based on position

A method of providing haptic stimulus to a user, the method comprising:

• conveying three-dimensional views of visual content to a first user at a display surface of an electronic display included in a user interface device, the visual content including a visual depiction of an event and the three-dimensional views are viewable at discrete, predetermined viewing angles;
• determining haptic stimulus associated with the event to be generated for the first user such that the haptic stimulus is determined based on a first viewing angle of the first user with respect to the display surface by selecting from a set of separate haptic stimulus associated with the event corresponding to individual discrete, predetermined viewing angles that are different from each other;
• and
• generating the haptic stimulus for the first user in coordination with display of the visual depiction of the event.

A system configured to provide haptic stimulus to one or more users, the system comprising:

• a user interface device including an electronic display having a display surface from which views of visual content are conveyed to the one or more users, the visual content comprising an event;
• a first actuator configured to generate haptic stimulus associated with the visual content being conveyed to a first user by the display surface;
• a second actuator configured to generate haptic stimulus associated with the visual content being conveyed to a second user by the display surface;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules, the computer program modules comprising:
• a stimulus module configured to
• determine haptic stimulus to be generated for the first user that is associated with the visual content being conveyed to the first user by the display surface based on a first viewing angle of the first user with respect to the display surface, and
• determine haptic stimulus to be generated for the second user that is associated with the visual content being conveyed to the second user by the display surface based on a second viewing angle of the second user with respect to the display surface,
• wherein responsive to the first viewing angle being different from the second viewing angle, the haptic stimulus associated with the event for the first user is different than the haptic stimulus associated with the event for the second user;
• and
• an actuator control module configured to control the first actuator to generate the haptic stimulus determined by the stimulus module for the first user and to control the second actuator to generate the haptic stimulus determined by the stimulus module for the second user.
