Title:
VIRTUAL MASS SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/130133
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Systems and methods of the inventive subject matter are directed to control systems that create virtual mass in a haptic feedback system. Embodiments include a jog knob coupled with a PCB stator motor such that the PCB stator motor can be controlled to give the jog knob a feeling of mass that is different from its actual mass. Thus, a system of the inventive subject matter can be configured to continue a rotation as if it has a higher mass than it actually has, resulting in smoother rotations that last longer. This functionality can be useful to, for example, remotely control a camera's movements while still giving a user the feel of a comparable mechanical system.
