Abstract: Techniques for sending and receiving tactile messages (e.g., haptic emojis) in an extended reality environment to facilitate touch communication between users. In one particular aspect, an extended reality system is provided having a head-mounted device with a display to display content to a first user, sensors to capture input data, processors, and memories accessible to the processors, the memories storing instructions executable by the processors to perform processing including: capturing, using the one or more sensors, the input data from the first user, extracting features from the input data that correspond to an electronic communication, identifying an emoji from a lexicon of emojis based on the extracted features, obtaining digital assets for the emoji, where the digital assets comprise a haptic signal configured with parameter information to generate patterns for haptic output, and transmitting the digital assets to a device of a second user.

Abstract: Methods and systems using a haptics library to determine whether to provide predefined haptic responses or parametrically-defined haptic responses are disclosed. A method includes receiving a desired semantic attribute for a haptic response to be provided while a user is using an application that is executing on an electronic device.

Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include presenting, via a user interface, a sensory cue, and receiving, from neuromuscular sensors of a wearable device, various neuromuscular signals generated by a user wearing the wearable device, where the user generates the neuromuscular signals in response to the sensory cue being presented to the user via the user interface. The method may also include interpreting the received neuromuscular signals as input commands with respect to the sensory cue provided by the user interface, such that the input commands initiate performance of specified tasks within the user interface. The method may also include performing the specified tasks within the user interface according to the interpreted input commands. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
