Abstract:
1. A method for integrating one or more haptic devices with a multi-touch display, the method comprising: identifying, by one or more processors, one or more haptic devices placed upon a multi-touch display surface to form a set of identified haptic devices; calibrating, by one or more processors, the set of identified haptic devices upon the multi-touch display surface, wherein calibration provides localized haptic interaction over subsets of the multi-touch display surface; enabling, by one or more processors, feedback to each identified haptic device; determining, by one or more processors, whether position or orientation of each identified haptic device upon the multi-touch display surface has changed; responsive to a determination by one or more processors that the position and orientation of an identified haptic device upon the multi-touch display surface has not changed, determining, by one or more processors, whether the position or orientation of the identified haptic device upon the multi-touch display surface is changing; and responsive to a determination that the position or orientation of the identified haptic device upon the multi-touch display surface is changing, disabling, by one or more processors, feedback for the identified haptic device and waiting for the position and orientation to stabilize.
