Abstract: An apparatus for providing a synchronized timing signal is provided. The apparatus includes a touch-stimulus system that generates a tactile stimulus in response to a driver signal. The apparatus also includes a conversion system that receives a data signal that includes timing data, and which generates a timing signal that is synchronized with the timing data. A driver system is connected to the tactile stimulus system and the conversion system. The driver system receives the timing signal and generates the driver signal, such that the driver signal is synchronized with the timing data.
