Abstract

The disclosure relates to a Synchronized Array of Vibration Actuators in a Network Topology that provides for synchronized arrays of low-cost, readily available vibration actuators to emulate superlative single actuators and to bring together sets of these emulated high-performance actuators to create a broad range of desired control effects. Such arrays of actuators may operate in both spatial and temporal modes, which can create haptic effects that relate to the user via their position and orientation in space. The spatial mode may create h-pulses or the amplitude of a vibrational effect may change based on the position of the device. And the temporal mode may create vibrational effects that interact with the user to create an awareness of time. Additionally modes include a performance mode, a bandwidth mode, a magnitude mode and a reliability mode. The different control modalities may be combined together into a single vector control space, which spans the haptic capabilities of sets and/or subsets of actuators.
