Abstract:
A haptic feedback device comprises a body having one or more movable components. The haptic feedback device also comprises a controller configured to move the one or more movable components in response to control signals received from a processor, the control signals generated based on a state of interaction between a user and a virtual environment, to shift a center of gravity of the haptic feedback device so as to impart particular haptic sensations to the user corresponding to the state of interaction between the user and the virtual environment. The controller is also configured to dynamically adjust respective positions of one or more of the movable components to dynamically shift the center of gravity of the haptic feedback device based on changes in a physical state of the haptic feedback device as the user physically manipulates the haptic feedback device.
