Abstract
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium is provided that includes instructions that, when executed by a computing device in electronic communication with an extended-reality device controller, cause the computing device to detect, via one or more force sensors of the controller, an input that includes a magnitude of force being applied in a direction generally normal to a plane defined by a portion of a housing of the controller. And the computing device detects a position of the input relative to the plane defined by the portion of the housing. The computing device, based on a determination that the magnitude of force of the input and the position of the input satisfy a positionally-specific predefined force value, causes a haptic feedback to be provided. The haptic feedback is selected from among a set of available haptic feedback events based on both the magnitude of force and the position of the input.
