SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HAPTIC FEEDBACK EFFECTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17934504 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HAPTIC FEEDBACK EFFECTS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system and techniques for processing media data and providing customized haptic feedback based on the media data. The system receives media content to be output using an output device, such as in a video game. The output device is capable of outputting different portions of the media content at different times. The system detects a condition associated with the media content at a specific time and actuates at least one haptic feedback actuator according to a haptic feedback pattern corresponding to the condition.
- The system processes media data and provides customized haptic feedback.
- Media content is received and output using an output device.
- Different portions of the media content can be output at different times.
- A condition associated with the media content is detected at a specific time.
- Haptic feedback actuators are actuated based on a haptic feedback pattern corresponding to the condition.
Potential Applications
- Video games: The system can enhance the gaming experience by providing haptic feedback that corresponds to specific conditions or events in the game.
- Virtual reality: In virtual reality environments, the system can provide haptic feedback to simulate the sense of touch and enhance immersion.
- Media playback: The system can be used to provide haptic feedback during media playback, such as movies or music, to enhance the overall experience.
Problems Solved
- Lack of customized haptic feedback: The system solves the problem of providing generic haptic feedback by customizing the feedback based on the media content and specific conditions.
- Limited haptic feedback options: The system provides a wide range of haptic feedback patterns that can be tailored to different media content and conditions, allowing for a more immersive and engaging experience.
Benefits
- Enhanced user experience: The customized haptic feedback adds an extra layer of immersion and realism to media content, improving the overall user experience.
- Increased engagement: The tailored haptic feedback can increase user engagement and enjoyment, particularly in gaming and virtual reality environments.
- Versatility: The system can be applied to various types of media content and environments, making it a versatile solution for enhancing haptic feedback.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and techniques are described for processing media data and for providing haptic feedback that is customized based on the media data. A media system receives media content to be output using an output device according to media output settings associated with a media output software application. The media content can be associated with an environment that is at least partially generated by the software application, as in a video game. The output device is configured to output different portions of the media content at different times across a period of time. The media system detects a condition associated with the media content at a first time along the period of time. The media system actuates at least one haptic feedback actuator according to a haptic feedback pattern corresponding to the condition.
