Abstract

One illustrative system disclosed herein includes a computing device in communication with a sensor configured to detect a display device near the sensor, the computing device, or within a field of view of a user of the computing device. The sensor can also be configured to transmit a signal associated with the display device to a processor in communication with the sensor. The processor is configured to determine an availability of the display device to display or output content (e.g., texts, images, sounds, videos, etc.) and a location of the display device based on the signal. The processor is also configured to determine a haptic effect based on the availability and the location of the display device and transmit a haptic signal associated with the haptic effect. The illustrative system also includes a haptic output device configured to receive the haptic signal and output the haptic effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to user interface devices. More specifically, but not by way of limitation, the present disclosure relates to haptic feedback for opportunistic displays. Background technique [0002] Many modern devices include display devices that can be used to provide content to a user of the device. Content may include text, images, sound, video, and more. A viewer (eg, another user looking at the device) may also be viewing content provided on the display device. However, some display devices may lack haptic feedback capabilities. Additionally, the viewer's attention may not be drawn to the display if the display is providing content that may be relevant to the viewer. Contents of the invention [0003] Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for providing haptic feedback for opportunistic displays. [0004] In one embodiment, a system of the present disclosure may include a computi...
