Systems and methods for providing immersive game feedback using haptic effects
There is provided a system including a wearable feedback device having a first feedback element and a second feedback element, a non-transitory memory storing a game and an executable code, and a hardware processor executing the executable code to receive an input signal from the game, transmit a first activation signal to activate the first feedback element to provide a first feedback including a haptic effect, in response to receiving the input signal, and transmit a second activation signal to activate the second feedback element to provide a second feedback, in response to receiving the input signal.
1. A system comprising:
a wearable feedback device including a first feedback element and a second feedback element, the wearable feedback device configured to be worn by a person, such that the first feedback element becomes located in a front side of the person and the second feedback element becomes located in a back side of the person;
a non-transitory memory storing a game and an executable code;
a hardware processor executing the executable code to:
receive an input signal from the game;
transmit a first activation signal to activate the first feedback element located in the front side of the person to provide a first feedback in response to receiving the input signal;
introduce a time delay after transmitting the first activation signal to activate the first feedback element; and
transmit, after the time delay, a second activation signal to activate the second feedback element located in the back side of the person to provide a second feedback, in response to receiving the input signal.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first feedback element is a first haptic actuator providing a first haptic effect and the second feedback element is one of a second haptic actuator providing a second haptic effect and a speaker.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first feedback element provides a first haptic effect and the second feedback element provides a second haptic effect.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein one of the first feedback element and the second feedback element provides a visual feedback on a display.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the display is an augmented reality display.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein one of the first feedback element and the second feedback element is a component of a mobile phone.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein a combination of the first feedback and the second feedback provides a sensation of motion.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second feedback is playing an audio.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the audio includes a Doppler shift.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the game is a multi-player game.
11. A method for user with a system including a wearable feedback device, a non-transitory memory and a hardware processor, the wearable feedback device configured to be worn by a person, such that a first feedback element of the wearable feedback device becomes located in a front side of the person and a second feedback element of the wearable feedback device becomes located in a back side of the person, the method comprising:
receiving, using the processor, an input signal from a game stored in the non-transitory memory;
transmitting, using the hardware processor, a first activation signal to activate the first feedback element located in the front side of the person to provide a first feedback, in response to receiving the input signal;
introducing, using the hardware processor, a time delay after transmitting the first activation signal to activate the first feedback element;
transmitting, using the hardware processor and after the time delay, a second activation signal to activate the second feedback element located in the back side of the person to provide a second feedback, in response to receiving the input signal.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first feedback element is a first haptic actuator providing a first haptic effect and the second feedback element is one of a second haptic actuator providing a second haptic effect and a speaker.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first feedback element provides a first haptic effect and the second feedback element provides a second haptic effect.
14. The method of claim 11 , wherein one of the first feedback element and the second feedback element provides a visual feedback on a display.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the display is an augmented reality display.
16. The method of claim 11 , wherein one of the first feedback element and the second feedback element is a component of a mobile phone.
17. The method of claim 11 , wherein a combination of the first feedback and the second feedback provides a sensation of motion.
18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the second feedback is playing an audio.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the audio includes a Doppler shift.
20. The method of claim 11 , wherein the game is a multi-player game.
