1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a sensor signal associated with a motion of a manipulandum in a degree of freedom;
determining a direction of the motion of the manipulandum in the degree of freedom based on the sensor signal;
outputting a first force signal if the determination indicates that the manipulandum moves in a first direction in the degree of freedom; and
outputting a second force signal if the determination indicates that the manipulandum moves in a second direction in the degree of freedom.

Abstract
Systems and methods for haptic feedback effects for control knobs are described. One method comprises the steps of receiving a sensor signal associated with a motion of a manipulandum in a degree of freedom, and determining a direction of the motion of the manipulandum in the degree of freedom based on the sensor signal. The method further comprises outputting a first force signal if the determination indicates that the manipulandum moves in a first direction in the degree of freedom, and outputting a second force signal if the determination indicates that the manipulandum moves in a second direction in the degree of freedom.

6. A computer-readable medium on which is encoded processor-executable program code, the computer-readable medium comprising:
-
program code to receive a sensor signal associated with a motion of a manipulandum in a degree of freedom;
program code to determine a direction of the motion of the manipulandum in the degree of freedom based on the sensor signal;
program code to output a first force signal if the determination indicates that the manipulandum moves in a first direction in the degree of freedom; and
program code to output a second force signal if the determination indicates that the manipulandum moves in a second direction in the degree of freedom. - View Dependent Claims (7)

8. A system comprising:
-
a manipulandum configured to move in a degree of freedom;
a sensor coupled to the manipulandum and configured to output a sensor signal associated with a motion of the manipulandum in the degree of freedom;
a processor configured to;
receive the sensor signal;
determining a direction of the motion of the manipulandum in the degree of freedom based on the sensor signal;
outputting a first force signal if the determination indicates that the manipulandum moves in a first direction in the degree of freedom; and
outputting a second force signal if the determination indicates that the manipulandum moves in a second direction in the degree of freedom. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
