Abstract

See full text

Various embodiments concern electronic devices capable of providing localized haptic feedback. More specifically, an electronic device can include an array of piezoelectric actuators that is disposed within the housing of the electronic device. When a user interacts with the electronic device (e.g., with content presented on a display), one or more of the piezoelectric actuators in the array can be induced into performing a haptic event. For example, a power source may selectively apply voltage to one or more piezoelectric actuators (and thus induce the haptic event). The localized haptic feedback provided by the piezoelectric actuator(s) can increase the realism of content experienced by the user.
