First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to generate a haptic effect, the generating the haptic effect comprising:
- receiving input from a sensor, wherein the input comprises extra-sensory information;
mapping the received input to a haptic signal; and
sending the haptic signal to an actuator to generate the haptic effect.

Abstract
A haptic representation system is provided that generates a haptic effect in response to sensor input. The sensor input is mapped to a haptic signal. The haptic signal is sent to an actuator configured to receive the haptic signal. The actuator utilizes the haptic signal to generate the haptic effect.
