    摘要: A simulation method and system includes storing values of a first plurality of nodes (302) in memory (104) based on tracking the position of a plurality of points (X0-X3) of a physical object (6) and maintaining a second plurality of nodes (304) in memory, each node of the second plurality of nodes corresponding to a node of the first plurality; the values of the second plurality of nodes can be used to model interactions with other objects and to render a view of a simulated object (116A); the simulation can access data identifying a simulation boundary (b)and selectively update values of the second plurality of nodes using the first plurality of nodes while ensuring that the simulation boundary is not violated; a value of the second plurality of nodes can be set to be different from the value of the corresponding one of the first plurality of nodes if using the first node's value would violate the boundary.

    摘要: A device includes a housing, a processor that is coupled to the housing, the processor is configured to process a software program stored in a memory. A touch screen is coupled to the housing and configured to display graphical objects, wherein a sensor signal associated with a user's interaction with the touch screen is provided to the processor. A first actuator is coupled to the touch screen and positioned within the housing. The first actuator is configured to output a first haptic effect to the touch screen upon receiving a first activating signal from the processor. A second actuator is coupled to the housing and configured to output a second haptic effect to the housing upon receiving a second activating signal from the processor. The first activating signal is associated with a foreground event and the second activating signal is associated with a background event occurring in the software program.

    摘要: A haptic effect enabled system generates a haptic effect using an electric potential responsive fluid. A haptic enabled apparatus includes a fluid and a substrate. The fluid is responsive to an electric field. The substrate is at least partially flexible and defines a channel. The fluid is positioned within at least a portion of the channel. A portion of the substrate proximal to the fluid is stiffer than a portion of the substrate spaced from the fluid, thereby creating a haptic effect.

    摘要: A haptic effect enabled device (100) for producing a haptic effect. In some cases, the haptic effect may represent a component of a spatial pattern represented on a surface (110) of the haptic effect enabled device. In some cases, the haptic effect enabled device may comprise a haptic output device (120), a drive module (130), and a drive circuit (125). The drive module may receive information indicative of a location of a touch input at the surface and determine whether the touch input's location corresponds with a location of one of multiple components (301, 301A, 301 B, 301 E, 301 F, 303, 304, 305, 307A, 307B) of the spatial pattern. The drive module may generate a drive signal (201, 203, 500) that the drive circuit then applies to the haptic output device to generate the haptic effect.
