Abstract
A seat haptic system includes a seat comprising a plurality of actuators configured to generate a haptic output, and a controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of actuators. The controller is configured to receive a first input signal associated with first audio content at a first volume level, and control the plurality of actuators to generate a first haptic output based on the first audio content, the first haptic output having a first magnitude associated with the first volume level of the first audio content. The controller is further configured to receive a second input signal associated with second audio content at a second volume level different from the first volume level, and control the plurality of actuators to generate a transitional haptic output based on a difference between the first volume level and the second volume level.
