Abstract
Embodiments include a method for controlling an output generated by a haptic device, using an electronic device communicatively coupled to the haptic device and having a touch-sensitive surface and a display. The method comprises displaying a first graphical object comprising a plurality of intensity level markers representing different vibrational intensity levels; displaying a second graphical object on top of at least a portion of the first graphical object; detecting a contact at a first location of the touch-sensitive surface; detecting a movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface to a second location of the touch-sensitive surface; and in response to the detected movement: adjusting a size of the second graphical object from a first size to a second size corresponding to a second intensity level marker, and causing the haptic device to change the selected vibrational intensity level to a second vibrational intensity level represented by the second marker.
