1. A method for providing a remote feedback stimulus to the body of a participant in response to a computer simulated event, the method comprising:

  • testing system state information of the computer simulated event to identify haptic and tactile association;

    classifying haptic and tactile type of the computer simulated event using a predetermined model if haptic and tactile association is identified;

    sensing the position of the participant to generate sensed position information;

    delivering the sensed position information to a controller;

    comparing the sensed position information to a predetermined threshold, and generating an activation signal if the sensed position information exceeds the threshold; and

    delivering the activation signal to at least one actuator at least some distance from the participant to produce at least one vortex ring directed at the participant to generate a haptic or tactile feedback stimulus to the participant.
