Abstract: Method for generating haptic feedback responses based on gestures starts with processor causing communication interface for communication session to be displayed on first user interface and on a second user interface. Processor detects a predetermined gesture by a first user of the first client device on the first user interface. In response to detecting the predetermined gesture by the first user, processor causes the first user interface and the second user interface to generate a haptic feedback response based on the predetermined gesture. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: Method for generating haptic and audio feedback responses starts with processor causing communication interface for communication session to be displayed on first user interface and on a second user interface. Processor detects first touch input on first user interface and second touch input on second user interface. Processor monitors location of the first touch input on the first user interface and location of the second touch input on the second user interface. Processor determines distance between location of first touch input on first user interface and location on first user interface corresponding to location of second touch input on second user interface. In response to determining that the distance is below predetermined threshold, processor causes first user interface and second user interface to generate an initial haptic feedback response and an initial audio feedback response. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: Method for generating haptic and audio feedback responses starts with processor causing communication interface for communication session to be displayed on first and second user interfaces. Communication interface includes first area and second area. Processor detects first touch input on first user interface and second touch input on second user interface and determines location of first touch input being in first area and location of second touch input being in second area. Processor causes first and second user interfaces to generate first audio feedback response associated with first area and second audio feedback response associated with second area. In response to determining that location of first touch input is updated to second area while the location of the second touch input is in second area, processor causes first and second user interfaces to generate enhanced audio feedback response and enhanced haptic response feedback. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: Method for generating haptic feedback responses starts with processor causing communication interface for communication session to be displayed on first user interface and on a second user interface. Processor detects first touch input on first user interface. Processor causes second user interface to display first indicator element at location on second user interface of second client device corresponding to location of first touch input on first user interface. First indicator element is displayed for a predetermined period of time. Processor detects second touch input on second user interface. In response to determining that location of the second touch input on second user interface corresponds to location of first indicator on second user interface and determining that second touch input on second user interface is detected within predetermined period of time, processor causes first user interface and second user interface to generate haptic feedback response. Other embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: The technical problem of generating a video feed that represents a user who is party to a video call in a manner that invokes the sense of visual presence of the caller without communicating the live video of the user is addressed by configuring a video calling system to include an avatar call platform. The avatar call platform is configured to generate and display a video of an animated figure that represents a caller during a call, in that the face of the animated figure moves in a way that matches what the caller is saying during the call.
