More Information
Summary:Haptic feedback for communication of relevant information is provided. Oftentimes when using content narration to read or author a document, it is desirable to notify the user of a presence of meta-information. Aspects of a haptic feedback system avoid adding data to an audio stream, and instead, use haptic feedback technology to communicate information about a presence and type of meta-information in relation to content being narrated. Device functionality can be improved by enabling communication of relevant information through non-auditory cues that are consumable by sight-impaired users. By employing haptic technologies as described herein, users are enabled to feel when certain meta-information is available, and are further enabled to interact with the meta-information to receive additional information associated with the meta-information.
