Abstract: The present embodiments disclose apparatus, systems and methods for allowing users to receive targeted delivery of haptic effects—air flow of variable intensity and temperature—from a single tower or surround tower configuration. The haptic tower may have an enclosed, modular assembly that manipulates air flow, fluid flow, scent, or any other haptic or sensation, for an immersed user. Moreover, the system has an application of sensor technology to capture data regarding a user's body positioning and orientation in the real environment. This data and, or data from a program coupled to the system, and, or audio-video data corresponding to a user in a virtual environment, is relayed to a haptic engine; recognized; scored along a plurality of parameters; and converted into a haptic output command for haptic output expression corresponding to the user in the virtual environment.

Abstract: A system for processing at least one of an audio or video input for non-scripted modulation of at least one peripheral device, comprising: the at least one peripheral device in physical contact with at least one user or free from the at least one user and in communication with at least a first device playing at least one of an original programming feed or live feed unscripted with modulation triggers; a processor; a memory element coupled to the processor; a program executable by the processor to: recognize at least one of the audio or video input from the at least one of the original programming feed or live feed, and determine for at least one tagged event, at least one of a pixel color score, a pixel velocity score, an event proximity score or an audio score; and convert the at least one scored event into at least one of an output command that triggers or controls a modulation effect of the at least one peripheral device in physical contact or free from the user in communication with the at least the first device playing the at least one of the original programming feed or live feed, thereby enabling modulation of the at least one peripheral device based on any programming comprising at least one of an audio or video input and not requiring scripted modulation triggers.

Abstract: A method for end-device (E-D) modulation by a generative-AI-prompted trigger, said method comprising the steps of: positioning a virtual representation of the E-D on a digital canvas displayed on a D1-coupled display representing a user's physical space; and generating a script to animate the digital canvas based on a user prompt of a large code model for instructing spatial effects across the E-D.

Abstract: A method for an image-captured initialization of an array of devices, said method comprising the steps of: receiving a video stream featuring a plurality of end devices in a gaming station, wherein said end device renders at least one of a lighting, haptic, or air-blowing effect from a specific location within the gaming station; detecting the plurality of end devices by vision processing at least a frame of the gaming station stream; and positioning a virtual representation of the detected end devices on a digital canvas representing a user's physical space based on a tonal frequency-dependent light-emission from a frequency-defined end device.

Abstract: A method for processing an audio input for tactile transduction, comprising the steps of: determining for a mount surface a tactile resonance based on the recognized surface characteristic of the mount surface by a resonance sensor within a housing; and controlling an intensity of an actuator coupled to a weight within the housing for generating the tactile sound derived from the controlled housing in contact with the mount surface, said control in synchronization with on-screen content and intensity-matched to the recognized surface characteristic for enhanced immersion.
