Abstract
Embodiments relate to performing haptic communication using frequency decomposition of speech where dominant frequencies of a speech is detected at a speech source and then sent to a signal generator to actuate actuators mapped to the dominant frequencies. The digitized version of the speech is segmented into a plurality of frames and then a predetermined number of dominant frequencies are detected from each frame. The dominant frequencies of frequencies are sent over to the signal generator so that the actuators corresponding to the dominant frequencies are activated for a time period corresponding to the frame.
