Abstract
A three-dimensional (“3D”) interactive system uses the positional data of the point cloud points to identify exactly where user input contacts part of a 3D object represented by the point cloud points, and to generate precise haptic feedback based on the haptic characteristics of the contacted points. Specifically, the system determines that coordinates of the user input match or are within a threshold distance of a particular data point from a set of data points that form the 3D object. The system retrieves the haptic characteristics of the particular data point, and generates the haptic response on a haptic input device based on the haptic characteristics of the particular data point.
