Abstract

Systems and methods for providing passive haptic feedback are described. Embodiments of the present invention comprise an actuator for bringing a manipulandum (500) and braking surface (206) into contact and thereby providing a resistance. The manipulandum includes scroll wheels (202), scroll drums (300), linear sliders (600) and similar user input devices. The actuator may be, for example, electromagnetic or piezo-electric. An embodiment of the present invention may include a processor in communication with the actuator for providing the haptic effects.
