(In)dependent Effects

Haptic effects (torque and position) can be experienced dependent or independent of the motor position and rotational direction.

Dependent Effects

Effects that depend on the position and rotational direction of the motor are only experienced when hovering over the effect itself. See the example below in which the forces and directions are visualized.

Independent Effects

Effects that are independent of the position and rotational direction of the motor can be experienced over the full range. In the example below the motor will always have the tendency to move towards the center when it is rotated outwards.

Example independent effects, which can be experienced regardless the position of the motor.
