Claim:
1. A method for augmenting reality based on a visual presentation, the method comprising: identifying the location of a physical object based on data captured from a sensing device; orienting a vortex generator based on the identified location of the physical object; determining a tactile sensation corresponding to at least one of a virtual object in the visual presentation and an event in the visual presentation; selecting a predefined pattern of sequential vortices for conveying the tactile sensation upon striking the physical object, the predefined pattern defining one or more frequencies for discharging the sequential vortices and one or more intensities of the sequential vortices; and after orienting the vortex generator, discharging the sequential vortices from the vortex generator using the predefined pattern.
