Abstract
Systems and methods may provide for capturing one or more inbound wireless transmissions and identifying a remote user movement based on at least one of the one or more inbound wireless transmissions. Additionally, a local haptic output may be generated, by an actuator, based on the remote user movement. In one example, the actuator is a piezoelectric actuator.
Claims21
A mobile device comprising:
- a receiver to capture one or more inbound wireless transmissions;
- a haptic controller communicatively coupled to the receiver, the haptic controller to identify a remote user movement based on at least one of the one or more inbound wireless transmissions;
- a piezoelectric actuator communicatively coupled to the haptic controller, the piezoelectric actuator to generate a local haptic output based on the remote user movement, wherein a pulse timing of the local haptic output is to indicate a tempo of the remote user movement, an intensity of the local haptic output is to indicate an intensity of the remote user movement, a waveform shape associated with the local haptic output is to indicate a tone of the remote user movement, and a frequency modulation associated with the local haptic output is to indicate a pitch associated with the remote user movement;
- a motion sensor to detect local user movement;
- and
- a transmitter communicatively coupled to the motion sensor, the transmitter to generate one or more outbound wireless transmissions based on the local user movement.
