Abstract
One embodiment of the present disclosure sets forth a technique for delivering audio content to a user. The technique includes analyzing audio content to determine a frequency at which to vibrate an effector. The technique further includes configuring one or more haptic output devices to generate haptic output that generates a haptic trap proximate to the effector. The technique further includes configuring the one or more haptic output devices to modify the haptic output to cause the haptic trap to vibrate the effector at the determined frequency. The effector vibrates to transmit the audio content. In one embodiment, the effector vibrates a skull of a user.
