First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a first electronic device comprisinga sensor configured to sense a condition or property experienced by the first electronic device, anda transmitter configured to transmit a signal based on output from the sensor; and
a second electronic device in signal communication with the first electronic device, the second electronic device comprisinga receiver configured to receive the transmitted signal,a detector configured to determine an object that a user of the second device is focusing on,a processor configured to generate a haptic signal representative of the transmitted signal if it is determined that the object the user is focusing on corresponds with a location of the first electronic device, anda haptic output device configured to receive the haptic signal and generate a haptic effect to the user.

Abstract
A system includes a first electronic device and a second electronic device. The first electronic device includes a sensor configured to sense or property experienced by the first electronic device, and a transmitter configured to transmit a signal based on output from the sensor. The second electronic device is in signal communication with the first electronic device. The second electronic device includes a receiver configured to receive the transmitted signal, a detector configured to determine an object that a user of the second device is focusing on, a processor configured to generate a haptic signal representative of the transmitted signal if it is determined that the object the user is focusing on corresponds with a location of the first electronic device, and a haptic output device configured to receive the haptic signal and generate a haptic effect to the user.
