Abstract
A seat haptic system includes a seat including a plurality of actuators configured to generate a haptic output, and a controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of actuators. The controller is configured to receive a first input signal associated with first audio content at a first volume level, and control the plurality of actuators to generate a first haptic output based on the first audio content, the first haptic output having a first magnitude associated with the first volume level. The controller is further configured to receive a second input signal associated with second audio content at a second volume level, and execute an equalization algorithm to determine a transitional haptic output that limits a difference between the first magnitude and a second magnitude of a second haptic output to be generated based the second audio content, based on a difference between the first and second volume levels.
