Abstract
This disclosure is directed to a system to provide tactile feedback during non-contact interaction. A system may comprise at least display circuitry, sensing circuitry, tactile feedback circuitry and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry may cause the display circuitry to present a user interface. The sensing circuitry may sense when a body part of a user (e.g., a hand, a finger, etc.) is proximate to the user interface and may generate position data based on a sensed position of the body part. The processing circuitry may determine a relative position of the body part with respect to the user interface based on the position data, and may determine if the body part is interacting with the user interface based on the relative position. If it is determined that the body part is interacting with the user interface, the processing circuitry may cause the tactile feedback circuitry to generate directional feedback.
