    Publication number: 20130215079
    Abstract: The invention relates to a user interface (100) comprising a touchable interaction surface (S) with an array (120) of actuators for providing haptic feedback. Moreover, the user interface comprises a controller (130) for controlling actuators in a coordinated manner such that they provide a directional haptic sensation.
