    摘要: Systems, devices, and methods for encoding haptic tracks are provided. A method includes receiving the haptic track, and identifying, within the haptic track, at least one of first portions of the haptic track that are representative of haptic silences or second portions that are representative of haptic effects. The method includes segmenting the haptic track into haptic silence chunks associated with one or more of the first portions that are sequentially positioned in the haptic track and haptic effects chunks associated with one or more of the second portions that are sequentially positioned in the haptic track. The method includes generating an encoded haptic track comprising at least one of a haptic silence block or a haptic effect block. The method includes outputting the encoded haptic track for playback. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    摘要: Providing haptic feedback includes identifying a three-dimensional (3D) area around a user. The 3D area is divided into a plurality of 3D sectors. At least one haptic effect is determined based on content displayed relative to the 3D area. At least one haptic effect is modulated by determining, for each of the 3D sectors, at least one weighted haptic effect. A modified haptic effect is generated for each of the 3D sectors based on a sum of the at least one weighted haptic effect. The haptic feedback is provided in response to a haptic control signal including instructions to playback a basic haptic pattern, the basic haptic pattern being transcoded from the modulated haptic effect. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    摘要: Systems, devices, and methods for streaming haptic effects are provided. Devices and methods are provided to create a system for receiving and encoding haptic effects according to a master haptics library. The encoded haptic effects are transmitted to a server system for distribution to client haptic devices. The client haptic devices include device specific haptic libraries for decoding the received haptic effects according to the capabilities of the respective devices.
