    摘要: Devices and methods for providing localized haptic effects are provided. The devices include a haptically enabled display device having one or more haptic actuators. The one or more haptic actuators are located in a non-viewing area of a display screen of a haptically enabled display device and cause localized haptic effects in a viewing area of the display screen. The haptically enabled display device includes a processor configured to determine haptic control signals for activating the haptic actuators. The haptic control signal activates the one or more haptic actuators to provide a localized haptic effect at a target location in the viewing area, remote from the non-viewing area location of the one or more haptic actuators.

    摘要: Systems, devices, methods, non-transitory computer readable mediums for generating one or more haptic effects are provided. For example, a device includes a substrate including a plurality of haptic regions, and a plurality of haptic output devices, each haptic output device being coupled to a respective haptic region, and each haptic output device being configured to generate a haptic effect in response to receiving a haptic drive signal, as described herein. The haptic effect is perceptible to a user within one cycle of the haptic drive signal.

    摘要: A haptic system and a method of manufacturing a haptic system are provided. The haptic system includes a substrate and a haptic actuator. The substrate includes a region having a residual stress. The haptic actuator is associated with the substrate on or near the region and is configured to generate a haptic effect in response to receiving a haptic effect signal. The haptic effect generated by the haptic actuator is amplified by the residual stress associated with the region. The method of manufacturing the haptic system includes deforming an substrate into a deformed shape, applying an epoxy to the substrate, affixing a haptic actuator to the epoxy and curing the epoxy while holding the substrate in the deformed shape, and, after curing, releasing the substrate to create the region having the residual stress.

    摘要: A haptic output device includes a substrate, an array of electrodes disposed on the substrate, and a layer of dielectric material disposed on the array of electrodes. The layer of dielectric material has an exposed outer surface comprising a micro-patterned texture configured to increase adhesion between the exposed outer surface and a contact surface in contact with the exposed outer surface. The haptic output device includes a controller configured to direct a voltage potential across the array of electrodes to generate an electrostatic adhesive force between the exposed outer surface and the contact surface as a haptic effect.
