Abstract

A method and system of dynamically generating localized haptic effects that includes receiving video data and detecting a video event within that video data. Information is collected including at least a position and type of the detected video event. The collection of information also includes at least a position and orientation of a user's avatar in the video data. The locations of a first and second haptic output device are determined. Haptic effects are dynamically generated for the first and second haptic output devices, wherein the dynamic generation of the haptic effects are based on the locations of the first and second haptic output devices, the position and orientation of the user's avatar in relationship to the position and the type of video event.
