Abstract

A method of providing haptic feedback includes collecting 3D motion data at a handheld computing accessory; analyzing the collected 3D motion data to infer a grip characteristic indicating an aspect of a user grip on the handheld computing accessory; selecting an amplitude for a haptic feedback waveform based on the inferred grip characteristic; and generating, at the handheld computing accessory, haptic feedback according to the selected amplitude.
