1. A method of activating a haptic output device of the kind responsive to signals defining directional force comprising receiving a series of signals defining a multiplicity of data packets, each packet defining a directional force applied at one location for transmission to the current location, determining from packet data the information defining a position to which a haptic output device is expected to move, using current positional data to generate output signals defining force and direction and applying a damping factor to said force and direction signals to slow the rate of movement from a previously defined position towards the current defined position.
