Abstract
Examples are disclosed relating to providing haptic feedback in a stylus while the stylus crosses a gap between two displays. In one example, a method comprises detecting one or more haptic triggering criteria, and at least on condition of detecting the one or more haptic triggering criteria, actuating the haptic feedback component to produce haptic output. A width of the gap between the displays is determined, and a crossing time for a tip of the stylus to cross the gap is calculated using the width of the gap, a stylus velocity, and a stylus direction. At a first time after actuating the haptic feedback component, the method determines that the one or more haptic triggering criteria are not detected. At least on condition of determining that the one or more haptic triggering criteria are not detected, the method continues to actuate the haptic feedback component for the crossing time.
