'''Haptic Output''' for '''[[Notifications]]''' (to include ring tones) is generally considered to be contiguous with the volume control system. Vibrate is either the setting between off and the lowest level, or can be enabled as a switch so it is on (or off) at all volume levels. While being used, vibration will be silenced in the same manner and at the same moment as '''[[Tones]]''' or '''[[Voice Notifications]]''' are. The same mute, cancel or silence functions will be presented when only vibration is enabled, and there is no audio output. |

Vibration responses and reminders. Two different things. Related. Vibrate isn't fixed, but should mean something, feel like a click when a click, feel harsh when "bad" feel soothing when "good" etc. Right now, on most devices, the vibrate device is a motor with an off-center weight. Very inefficient, so very power consuming. Keep this in mind when planning lots of haptic feedback... LOOK UP IF THERE ARE BETTER ONES THAT ARE COST EFFECTIVE. Also, can sometimes cheat with audio, make the speaker do low-tones and it's felt...
Problem
Solution
Additional methods of haptic output are being developed in the laboratory, and may appear in production soon. These include the ability to sense objects that are not physically present, enabling tactile virtual keyboards for example.
Variations
Emphasis - hit a key, it confirms by buzzing or clicking
Response - delay... you do something and it vibrates to say "okay"
Notification - out-of-context alerts, vibrate helps you detect it when sound is off or muffled, and to localize when in a pocket, etc.
Interaction Details
Haptic Output for Notifications (to include ring tones) is generally considered to be contiguous with the volume control system. Vibrate is either the setting between off and the lowest level, or can be enabled as a switch so it is on (or off) at all volume levels. While being used, vibration will be silenced in the same manner and at the same moment as Tones or Voice Notifications are. The same mute, cancel or silence functions will be presented when only vibration is enabled, and there is no audio output.
