Methods and systems using a haptics library to determine whether to provide predefined haptic responses or parametrically-defined haptic responses are disclosed. A method includes receiving a desired semantic attribute for a haptic response to be provided while a user is using an application that is executing on an electronic device. In accordance with a determination, made by the haptics library that is distinct from the application and that is configured to provide data used to generate haptic responses to applications executing on the electronic device, that the electronic device should use a parametrically-defined haptic response to deliver a haptic response having the desired semantic attribute, selecting, by the haptics library, respective values for a set of haptic-response parameters; and providing instructions to cause haptic generators of the electronic device to deliver a parametrically-defined haptic response having the desired semantic attribute using the respective values for the set of haptic-response parameters.

Using a haptic effects library to determine whether to provide predefined or parametrically-defined haptic responses, and systems and methods of use thereof

The disclosed computer-implemented method for determining a proximity status between electrodes may include detecting an amount of electrical charge an electrode among other electrodes that are communicatively coupled to an artificial reality device. The method may further include determining, based on the detected amount of electrical charge at the electrode, a mutual capacitance measurement that indicates an amount of mutual capacitance between the other electrodes. The method may also include determining, based on the mutual capacitance measurement, a relative proximity status between the electrodes, where the relative proximity status indicates a degree to which the electrodes are in proximity with each other. The method may further include providing the determined relative proximity status between the electrodes as an input to the artificial reality device. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
