Claim:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to convert an input signal into a haptic effect, the converting comprising: receiving the input signal; segmenting the input into a plurality of waveforms, wherein each waveform comprises at least a portion of the input signal; combining each waveform with an envelope to generate a first grain and a second grain, wherein the first and second grains are each mapped to a particular position on a touchscreen; receiving a position signal that indicates a position on the touchscreen, wherein the generation of the second grain is based on the position signal; combining the first and second grains to generate a cloud, wherein the cloud comprises a representation of the first and second grains; and generating the haptic effect based on the cloud.
