  • a touch surface;

    a peripheral device including;

    a receptive circuit configured to receive data while the peripheral device is touching the touch surface; and

    a haptic element;

    a processor configured to;

    display a path on the touch surface for travelling by the peripheral device; and

    detect the peripheral device touching the touch surface at a first portion of the path; and

    communicate the data to the receptive circuit of the peripheral device, in response to detecting the peripheral device touching the touch surface at the first portion of the path;

    wherein, in response to receiving the data by the receptive circuit of the peripheral device from the processor, the peripheral device causes the haptic element to provide a haptic feedback to the user by making the peripheral device move faster or slower based upon the detected first portion of the path while the peripheral device is moving over the detected first portion of the path.
