Claim 17:
18. A device configured to decode information representative of a haptic effect, the device comprising:
a receiver receiving a bitstream;
a decoder configured to:
decode from said the bitstream a first descriptor representative of a position in a user haptic space, said 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 the 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 moves with the user;
decode from the bitstream a second descriptor representative of a location of a virtual object having associated haptic properties relative to the user haptic space; and
decode, from 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.
