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 may include presenting, via a user interface, a sensory cue, and receiving, from neuromuscular sensors of a wearable device, various neuromuscular signals generated by a user wearing the wearable device, where the user generates the neuromuscular signals in response to the sensory cue being presented to the user via the user interface. The method may also include interpreting the received neuromuscular signals as input commands with respect to the sensory cue provided by the user interface, such that the input commands initiate performance of specified tasks within the user interface. The method may also include performing the specified tasks within the user interface according to the interpreted input commands. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Systems, methods, and interfaces for performing inputs based on neuromuscular control

Methods and apparatus for controlling a physical object in an environment based, at least in part, on neuromuscular signals. The method comprises recording a plurality of neuromuscular signals from a plurality of neuromuscular sensors arranged on one or more wearable devices worn by a user, receiving a selection of a physical object within the environment, and controlling, based at least in part on the plurality of neuromuscular signals and/or information based on the plurality of neuromuscular signals, an operation of the selected object within the environment.
