Abstract

A method of capturing haptic content of an object where the capturing involves a plurality of communication devices includes recognizing haptic content captured by a first communication device and properties associated with the captured haptic content and recognizing properties associated with a second communication device, and determining, at least partly based on the recognized properties, whether or not the second device is to participate in the capturing of the haptic content. If such a participation is determined, a transmission of at least parts of the haptic content captured by the first communication and the associated properties to the second communication device is initiated. Haptic content captured by the second communication device is then recognized by the haptic device, and a combination of the haptic content captured by the first communication device with the haptic content captured by the second device, can then be initiated. A haptic device and a system, capable of executing the method suggested above are also described.
