Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces using tactile output. At a device, determine a first position of the device relative to a point of reference. After determining the first position, output, via one or more tactile output devices, a first tactile output, where the first tactile output is generated based on a first value of a characteristic that is selected in accordance with the first position. After outputting the first tactile output, detect a change in position of the device to a second position relative to the point of reference. In response to detecting the change in the position of the device, output a second tactile output that is different from the first tactile output, where the second tactile output is generated based on a second value of the characteristic that is selected in accordance with the second position of the device relative to the point of reference.
