Abstract
Systems and methods for haptically enabled metadata are disclosed. One disclosed embodiment of a method comprises receiving, by an electronic device, an electronic list corresponding to a plurality of data items. The method further comprises analyzing, by the electronic device, metadata within the electronic list to determine a haptic effect associated with a first data item in the plurality of data items. The method further comprises generating a signal, the signal being generated when information corresponding to the first data item is initially displayed on a display associated with the electronic device, the signal configured to cause the haptic effect. The method further comprises outputting the signal.
