Abstract:
A touch interface device includes a touch surface configured to be engaged by an object, first and second actuator assemblies operably connected to the touch surface, and a controller operably connected with the first and second actuator assemblies. The first actuator assembly displaces the touch surface in one or more lateral directions along the touch surface at a first frequency. The second actuator assembly displaces the touch surface in an angled direction that is one of at least obliquely or perpendicularly angled to the touch surface at a second frequency. The controller operates the first and second actuator assemblies so that the touch surface varies in engagement with the object to impart a force on the object that is along the touch surface.

Claim (Index 3):
A tangible and non-transitory computer readable storage medium for a system that includes a processor, the non-transitory computer readable storage medium including one or more sets of instructions configured to direct the processor to:\n control a first actuator assembly to move a touch surface in one or more lateral directions along the touch surface so as to engage engagement body part, wherein the first actuator assembly moves the generally planar touch surface in the one or more lateral directions periodically; control a second actuator assembly to move at least a portion of the touch surface in one or more angled directions that are obliquely or perpendicularly angled to the touch surface to also engage the body part, wherein the second actuator assembly moves the generally planar touch surface in one or more angled directions periodically; control and synchronize motion of the touch surface in the one or more lateral directions and in the one or more angled directions that are obliquely or perpendicularly to the touch surface including modulating at least one of amplitude, phase, and frequency of the angular and lateral movements; and wherein the modulating is perceptible to detection by the body party and wherein said modulating produces perceived continuous pushing force on the body part in one of the lateral directions along the touch surface, wherein the force provides haptic output to an operator of a device that includes the touch surface.
