1. A system for providing non-visual sensory feedback to a user interacting with a virtual object, comprising:

  • a processor; and

    a memory communicatively coupled to the processor when the system is operational, the memory bearing processor-executable instructions that, when executed on the processor, cause the system to at least;

    receive data captured by a capture device, the data comprising at least one of a velocity, acceleration or rotation of a body part associated with a user;

    predict, based on the data, a future interaction by the user with the virtual object at a future time;

    compute, prior to the future time, and based on the predicted future interaction by the user with the virtual object, a non-visual sensory feedback that corresponds to the future interaction by the user with the virtual object and a duration for providing the non-visual sensory feedback, computing the non-visual sensory feedback comprising computing, based on the predicted future interaction, an amount of non-visual sensory feedback prior to the future time and before the predicted future interaction actually occurs; and

    provide the computed non-visual sensory feedback to the user at the future time.
