Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods relate to, among other things, a transducer capable of producing acoustic and tactile stimulation. the transducer includes a rigid mass element disposed on the diaphragm of a speaker. the mass element may optionally be removable and may have a mass selected such that the resonant frequency of the transducer falls within the range of frequencies present in an input electrical audio signal. the systems and methods advantageously benefit from both the fidelity and audio performance of a full-range speaker while simultaneously producing high-fidelity, adjustable and palpable haptic vibrations.
