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. Using a width of the gap between the displays, a stylus velocity, and a stylus direction, a crossing time for the stylus tip to cross the gap is calculated. At a first time after actuating the haptic feedback component, the method determines that the stylus tip crosses an inside edge of one of the displays. At least on condition of determining that the tip of the stylus crosses an inside edge of a display, the method continues to actuate the haptic feedback component for the crossing time.
