Abstract
A method, apparatus, and/or computer program product integrates one or more haptic devices with a multi-touch display. One or more haptic devices are placed upon a multi-touch display surface to form a set of identified haptic devices. The set of identified haptic devices is calibrated upon the multi-touch display surface, where calibration provides localized haptic interaction over subsets of the multi-touch display surface, thus enabling feedback to the identified haptic devices.
