Abstract
A method may include accessing audio data, obtaining tactile audio data associated with the audio data, and, while reproducing the audio data, reproducing a tactile audio response according to the tactile audio data in a manner personalized to a user. The tactile audio data may be reproduced via an electroactive transducer to transfer the tactile audio response to a body of a user. Another method may include obtaining audio data, parsing the audio data to identify an audio component that includes an audio layer or an audio source, and identifying an audio attribute of the audio component. The method may also include selecting the audio component to accompany a tactile audio response, generating tactile audio data that describes the tactile audio response for the selected audio component, and coordinating the tactile audio data of the selected audio component with the audio data of the selected audio component.
