Nokia patents haptic system to simulate linear motion, assist with navigational route guidance

Nokia patents haptic system to simulate linear motion, assist with navigational route guidance

The crew in Espoo have just added a new patent to the arsenal that promises to add a refined level of haptic feedback to the user experience. Fundamental to Nokia's plan is a matrix of independent haptic devices that remain stationary, but combine to simulate the sensation of linear and circular movement. Not only could the enhanced feedback bring a new level of interaction to the software interface, but Nokia also hypothesizes that the system will be useful for providing navigational route guidance — say, without the need for visual or auditory feedback.
