1. A method of converting a sensed input signal into one or more haptic effects, the method comprising:
- receiving the sensed input signal from a sensor;
converting the sensed input signal into one or more haptic signals;
modifying a haptic parameter of the one or more haptic signals to have substantially a same numeric value as a parameter of the sensed input signal, wherein the haptic parameter and the parameter of the sensed input signal are of a same parameter type, wherein the same parameter type comprises at least one of an amplitude, a frequency, a duration, an envelope, a density, a magnitude, a time signature, a frequency signature, a frequency band, or a strength; and
generating the one or more haptic effects based on the haptic parameter and the one or more haptic signals.

Abstract
A system is provided that automatically converts an input into one or more haptic effects in near real-time. The system senses the input in near real-time. The system automatically converts the sensed input into one or more haptic signals in near real-time. The system generates the one or more haptic effects based on the one or more haptic signals.
