At a glance

How can audiovisual events become context-aware haptic feedback for an in-vehicle cinematic experience?

A context-aware system that translates audiovisual content into real-time haptic feedback for in-vehicle 4D cinematic experiences.

Audiovisual-to-hapticReal-time renderingIn-vehicle experience

The approach

The supplied system overview combines event sound localization, event salience classification, and audio signal processing. Event location, salience, and dynamics inform spatiotemporal haptic patterns delivered through a vehicle seat alongside video and audio.

Research highlights

  1. Context-aware event information

    Video and audio contribute information about event location, salience, and dynamics.

  2. Spatiotemporal haptic rendering

    The pipeline maps event information to haptic patterns distributed across the seat.

  3. In-vehicle 4D experience

    The illustrated application brings video, audio, and seat-based haptic feedback together in a cinematic experience inside a vehicle.
