Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for providing a touch-based augmented reality (AR) experience. During a capture phase, a first user may grip an object. An intensity of a force applied on the object in the grip and/or a duration of the grip may be recorded. A volumetric representation of the first user holding the object may also be captured. During an experience phase, a second user may touch the object, the object may provide haptic feedback (e.g., a vibration) to the second user at an intensity and a duration corresponding to an intensity of the force applied on the object and a duration of the grip of the object. If a volumetric representation of the first user holding the object is captured, touching the object may also cause a presentation of the first user's volumetric body that holds the object.
