Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing tactile feedback. A method for providing tactile feedback, comprises extracting a plurality of features from a visual representation of a physical object, wherein the extracting is performed using at least one image processing technique, generating a variable frequency pattern corresponding to the extracted features, sending the variable frequency pattern to a computing device, and generating the tactile feedback via the computing device in response to a stimulation applied by a user, wherein the tactile feedback is based on the variable frequency pattern.
Abstract:
Controlling haptic feedback (216) in a mobile communication device (304) is provided. Metadata (320) associated with a set of objects (318) within requested content (316) is parsed (608) to identify each object within the requested content having an associated frequency pattern (322) included in the metadata (320). The requested content (316) is displayed (610) in a display device (214). A touch input is received (612) on the display device (214) at a location of an identified object (318) that has an associated frequency pattern (322) within the requested content (316). A frequency and a duration of a vibration generated (616) by a variable frequency vibration device (218) simulating a tactile texture (504) of the identified object (318) touched within the requested content (316) is controlled using the associated frequency pattern (322) of the identified object (318).
