  • receiving a first sensor signal from a touch-sensitive input device in response to a first contact on the touch-sensitive input device, the first sensor signal comprising a first location of the first contact and a first pressure of the first contact;

    receiving a second sensor signal from the touch-sensitive input device in response to a second contact on the touch-sensitive input device substantially simultaneously with the first contact, the second sensor signal comprising a second location of the second contact and a second pressure of the second contact;

    updating a display corresponding to the touch-sensitive input device based at least in part on the first pressure being different than the second pressure;

    generating a signal configured to cause a haptic effect indicating the updating of the display; and

    outputting the signal by wirelessly sending the signal to an arm strap comprising a haptic output device configured to output the haptic effect.
