In some particular embodiments, a touch-enabled platform (TEP) is configured to: receive data indicating a user is contacting a touch interface on a device; analyze the data to determine a characteristic of the contact between the user and the touch interface; and provide a waveform to actuate vibration at the touch interface based upon the characteristic of the contact and a display characteristic at the touch interface.
