1. A method for applying a haptic effect, the method comprising:
- receiving sensor information from a sensor output signal generated by a sensor on an object;
encoding, in a packet containing metadata for the sensor, a haptic event based on the sensor information, the haptic event being an event for which the haptic effect is to be provided, and the packet being used to generate a haptic signal; and
applying the haptic effect by processing the haptic signal.

Abstract
A method of generating event identifiers includes receiving sensor information from tracked entities. Based on the sensor information for tracked entities, an event can be determined. An event ID can be assigned to the event based on the type of event that was determined. The event ID can be sent to a haptically enabled device, the device outputting a haptic effect determined from the event ID.

10. A method for applying a haptic effect, the method comprising:
-
receiving sensor information from a sensor output signal generated by a sensor on an object; identifying a haptic event based on the sensor information, the haptic event being an event for which the haptic effect is to be provided; assigning an event ID to the haptic event; generating a haptic signal based on the event ID and a force element, the force element being metadata associated with the event ID, a parameter specified by the event ID or a parameter separate from the event ID; and applying the haptic effect by processing the haptic signal. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which is encoded instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving sensor information from a sensor output signal generated by a sensor on an object; encoding, in a packet containing metadata for the sensor, a haptic event based on the sensor information, the haptic event being an event for which a haptic effect is to be provided, and the packet being used to generate a haptic signal; and applying the haptic effect by processing the haptic signal.
