ABSTRACT:
A control system that is responsive to an audio signal generated by an audio source such as a computer, video game console, stereo system and the like. The control system converts the audio signal into a control signal for a tactile sensation generator such as a vibrating cushion, vibrating seat pad, and the like. The control system contains an audio signal processor and a control signal generator. The audio signal processor produces a processed signal indicative of the amplitude, frequency, and rate of change of the audio signal. From the processed signal, a control signal generator produces a control signal for a tactile sensation generator. The control signal causes the tactile sensation generator to produce a tactile sensation corresponding to the present scene being displayed, for example, on a monitor of a computer executing a computer game.
