Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for controlling an object configured to be handheld and including vibratory actuators. The method including mechanically coupling a first group of at least one vibratory actuator to a first part of the object, mechanically coupling a second group of at least one vibratory actuator to a second part of the object, the first and the second parts being configured to be able to vibrate independently of each other, and to come into contact with different areas of the hand of the user holding the object, and transmitting to each group of actuators, an electrical signal having a frequency adapted to the resonance frequency of the part to which it is mechanically coupled.
