A haptic device is configured to obtain a predetermined distance and establish a contact position. The haptic device may monitor sensor data in order to determine an activity using a content module and access a lookup table to associate a contact position with the determined activity. A position module will monitor the position of the haptic device and detect when the haptic device is at the contact position. At the contact position, the haptic device will produce a haptic effect. In some embodiments, a display device may be in communication with the haptic device in order to transmit and receive data.
