Abstract:
1. A system for providing tactile feedback, comprising: an image processing module capable of extracting a plurality of features from a visual representation of a physical object, wherein the extracting is performed using at least one image processing technique; and a frequency generation module capable of generating a variable frequency pattern corresponding to the extracted features, sending the variable frequency pattern to a computing device, assigning values within a range for each of the plurality of features, and weighting the values; wherein the values correspond to actual characteristics of the physical object; wherein weights applied to the values are based on an importance of each value in connection with accurate identification of the extracted features of the physical object via the tactile feedback; and wherein the computing device generates the tactile feedback in response to a stimulation applied by a user, and the tactile feedback is based on the variable frequency pattern.
