Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a manipulandum; an actuator in communication with the manipulandum, the actuator operable to provide haptic feedback to the manipulandum, to communicate information regarding the characteristics of the actuator to a processor, and to produce an audible sound correlated with the haptic feedback, wherein the actuator is configured to receive an actuator signal and an audio signal, the actuator signal operative to cause the actuator to provide the haptic feedback and the audio signal operative to cause the actuator to produce the audible sound correlated with the haptic feedback; a second actuator, the second actuator configured to receive a second actuator signal and a second audio signal, the second actuator signal operative to cause the actuator to provide a second haptic feedback and the second audio signal operative to cause the actuator to produce a second audible sound correlated with the second haptic feedback.
