Claim 12:
13. A stylus for use with a computing device comprising a first display and a second display that are separated by a gap, the stylus comprising:
a haptic feedback component within the stylus;
a logic processor; and
a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to actuate the haptic feedback component while the stylus crosses the gap between the first display and the second display, the instructions executable to:
detect one or more haptic triggering criteria;
at least on condition of detecting the one or more haptic triggering criteria, actuate the haptic feedback component to produce haptic output;
using a width of the gap between the first display and the second display, a stylus velocity, and a stylus direction, calculate a crossing time for a tip of the stylus to cross the gap;
at a first time after actuating the haptic feedback component, determine that the tip of the stylus crosses an inside edge of the first display or the second display;
at least on condition of determining that the tip of the stylus crosses the inside edge of the first display or the second display, continue to actuate the haptic feedback component for the crossing time.
