HAPTIC-ENABLED WEARABLE DEVICE FOR GENERATING HAPTIC EFFECT IN IMMERSIVE REALITY ENVIRONMENT

摘要

To provide an improved method and apparatus for providing a haptic effect in a context-dependent manner.SOLUTION: An apparatus, a method and a non-transitory computer-readable medium are presented for providing haptic effects for an immersive reality environment. The method comprises receiving an indication that a haptic effect is to be generated for an immersive reality environment being executed by an immersive reality module. The method further comprises determining a type of immersive reality environment being generated by the immersive reality module, or a type of device on which the immersive reality module is being executed. The method further comprises controlling a haptic output device of a haptic-enabled wearable device to generate the haptic effect on the basis of the type of immersive reality environment being generated by the immersive reality module, or the type of device on which the immersive reality module is being executed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1A
