Abstract
Examples are disclosed relating to providing haptic output to a stylus. In one example, rotational position data indicating a rotational position of the stylus about a longitudinal axis of the body of the stylus is received. Travel direction data indicating a direction of travel of a tip of the stylus relative to a touch-sensitive screen of a computing device is also received. Using at least the rotational position data and the travel direction data, one or more characteristics of a drive signal are determined. The drive signal is then transmitted to a haptic feedback mechanism within the body of the stylus to generate haptic output at the body.
