1. An apparatus comprising:
- a first master control node operable to;
receive a first input signal from a first control node, the first input signal associated with a state of the first control node and associated with a state of a system to be controlled;
control the system based at least in part on the first input signal; and
generate a first output signal configured to produce a first haptic effect on a second control node, the first haptic effect based at least in part on the first input signal.

13. An apparatus comprising:
-
a first control node comprising a sensor; and a second control node, wherein the sensor is operable to sense an input at the first control node and generate an output signal configured to control a system, the output signal further configured to produce a haptic effect on the second control node, the haptic effect based at least in part on the input at the first control node. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. An apparatus comprising:
a first control node operable to generate an input signal associated with a state of the first control node and associated with a state of a system to be controlled, the input signal configured to cause a master control node to control the system, the input signal further configured to cause a master control node to generate an output signal, wherein the output signal is configured to produce a haptic effect on a second control node, the haptic effect based at least in part on the input signal. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
