  • Patent number: 10481787
    Abstract: A touch interface includes a display screen and detects an approach and a position of a user's finger with respect to the screen. The interface displays at least one first graphical element associated with a first touch selection zone and lying in a first region and at least one second graphical element superimposed on a second touch selection zone, and lying in a second region distinct from the first region. The interface estimates a trajectory of a point of the finger and a point of impact of the trajectory on the screen. The interface displaces, when the point of impact is detected in one of the regions, the graphical element of the region and the associated touch selection zone in the direction of the point of impact, and then, when the point of impact exits the region, restore the display of the graphical element to an initial state.

  • Patent number: 10444840
    Abstract: This disclosure presents systems and methods to synchronize visual effects and haptic feedback for interactive experiences. Visual circuit control signals may dictate control of a presentation device to present images forming virtual content. Haptic circuit control signals may dictate control of a haptic feedback device to provide haptic output. Timing information conveying one or both of latency in the execution of the visual circuit control signals by the presentation device and/or latency in the execution of the haptic circuit control signals by the haptic feedback device may be determined. Based on the timing information, transmission of the visual circuit control signals to the presentation device and/or transmission of the haptic circuit control signals to the haptic feedback device may be effectuated so that the presentation of images and provision of haptic output occur within a threshold time span.
