Actuator coupled device chassis

A system, comprising:

• an inner device, including:
• a memory storing computer-executable instructions;
• and
• a processor in communication with the memory, the processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to cause the processor to:
• send, to one or more haptic actuators, one or more control signals to present a haptic effect;
• an outer shell, arranged to cover one or more sides of the inner device;
• and
• the one or more haptic actuators, wherein the one or more haptic actuators mechanically couple the inner device to the outer shell, the one or more haptic actuators configured to:
• receive the one or more control signals;
• and
• based on the one or more control signals, generate a displacement of the inner device relative to the outer shell to present the haptic effect.

An apparatus, comprising:

• an inner shell, arranged to enclose one or more electronic components, including at least one electronic component configured to send a control signal to one or more haptic actuators;
• an outer shell, arranged to enclose two or more sides of the inner shell;
• and
• the one or more haptic actuators, each of the one or more haptic actuators directly coupled to an inner surface of the outer shell and to an outer surface of the inner shell, the one or more haptic actuators configured to:
• receive the control signal from the at least one electronic component;
• and
• based on the control signal, present a haptic effect by displacing the inner shell with respect to the outer shell.
