Claim 12:
13. A device configured to transmit a bitstream comprising data representative of haptic effect, the device comprising:
an encoder configured to:
encode, into the bitstream, a first descriptor representative of a position in a user haptic space, the user haptic space represented by a cube with dimensions normalized in each of x, y, and z axis in a virtual environment, and having an origin with reference to a user, wherein the user haptic space is accessible to the user, wherein the user haptic space is bounded by a distance normalized to the user's physical reach, wherein the user haptic space provides for haptic feedback and interactivity, and wherein the user haptic space includes the user and moves with the user;
encode, into said the bitstream, a second descriptor representative of a location of a virtual object having associated haptic properties relative to the user haptic space;
encode, into said the bitstream, a third descriptor representative of a location of a haptic device in the user haptic space, the third descriptor representative of the location of the haptic device having a link type describing a location linked to the user; and

a transmitter transmitting said the bitstream.
