Abstract
An electronic device includes a first housing portion and a second housing portion. A reflective surface defines a major surface of the second housing portion. A signal emitter and a signal receiver are supported by the first housing portion. The signal emitter delivers signals to the reflective surface and the signal receiver receives reflections of the signals to determine one or more of location of an object or whether the object is touching the reflective surface. One or more haptic devices are supported by the second housing portion. One or more processors, operable with the signal receiver and the one or more haptic devices, actuate at least one haptic device when the signal receiver detects the object touching the reflective surface.
