1. A system for communicating information via a tactile sense comprising:
- a display comprising a plurality of activators;
a controller comprising a processor and a memory configured to;
receive input information, comprising at least one of an instruction, a response, location of the display relative to an object, and context information regarding a surrounding environment;
translate the input information according to a predetermined communication structure to generate a tactile sequence; and
transmit the tactile sequence to a display comprising a plurality of activators for output of the tactile sequence on the display;
wherein the generated tactile sequence is generated from an intermediate communication from the input information according to the predetermined communication structure;
wherein the predetermined communication structure comprises a category selected from one or more of a location, a core content, or a qualifier; and
wherein the qualifier comprises a number specific to an object in the surrounding environment.
