FEEDBACK RESPONSIVE INPUT ARRANGEMENTS
First Claim
1. A feedback responsive input arrangement comprising:
- a touch surface including an array of capacitive sensors for generating one or more touch signals;
a controller coupled to the touch surface and configured to generate one or more feedback signals in response to the one or more touch signals; and
an actuator coupled to the controller and configured to generate a tactile feedback response at the touch surface and an aural feedback response based on the one or more feedback signals.

Abstract
Feedback responsive input arrangements are presented where arrangements includes: a sensor in mechanical communication with a surface layer, the sensor configured to generate electronic signals in response to applied forces exerted upon the surface layer; a processing module configured to convert electronic signals into user-defined programmatic dimensions; and a tactile feedback response component configured to actuate in response to electronic signals. In some embodiments, user defined programmatic dimensions are selected from the group consisting of: a state dimension, a magnitude dimension, and a temporal dimension. In some embodiments, the processing module is further configured to process user-defined programmatic dimensions into user-defined programmatic actions. In some embodiments, user-defined programmatic actions are coupled to graphical environments, the graphical environments configured to provide a graphic feedback response based on user-defined programmatic actions. In some embodiments user-defined programmatic actions are coupled to an aural environment, the aural environment configured to provide an aural feedback.
