Real-time video communication interface with haptic feedback response

This invention describes a system where two people in a video call can interact by touching their screens. The system tracks where each person touches and calculates a "virtual distance" between their touches in a shared space. As their touches get closer together, their screens vibrate more intensely or faster, and the vibration lessens as they move apart. A distinct "reward" vibration can also be triggered if their touches are very close.

Why it matters: Filed only two years ago, the core technologies for touchscreens and haptic feedback were already mature. The primary obstacle remains demonstrating a compelling user experience that justifies integrating this specific interaction into existing communication platforms.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedReal-time multi-device software logic, haptic control
