Abstract:
1. A method executed at least in part by a computing device providing infrastructural haptics on wall scale interactive displays, the method comprising: displaying a user interface with touch-based control elements on an interactive wall display; detecting a touch on a surface of the interactive wall display affixed to a wall structure through sensors of the interactive wall display; reporting the detected touch to a control server provided by one of: an integrated circuit within the interactive wall display, and a local network; determining a tactile feedback corresponding to the touch at the control server; retrieving the tactile feedback corresponding to the touch from a data store including a plurality of sensory inputs and matching tactile feedbacks; and playing the tactile feedback through actuators integrated to the interactive wall display, wherein the actuators are installed in an equidistant grid pattern on bars fixed to studs of the wall structure and the actuators simulate one of: a swipe motion, a button press, and a continuous three-dimensional shape of a surface of the interactive wall display.
