Role: Application. Features: Rich tactility. Input: audio data. Rule: Beats and selected accents of the music track receive synchronous vibration events. Application: Music player, interactive video clip, rhythm game. Limitations: It is better to select significant events; direct copying of all sounds turns into hum. <a id=\"variant-h141\"></a>\n- Accents of the film or video. Role: Application. Features: Rich tactility. Input: video data. Rule: The author marks moments that are accompanied by a short tactile event. Application: Interactive cinema, trailer, training video. Limitations: Synchronization is required; This is an author's tactile track, not an automatic accurate rendering of the scene. <a id=\"variant-h142\"></a>\n- Tactile sequencer. Role: Application. Features: Basic impulses. Input: touch. Rule: The user places pulses and pauses on a time grid, then plays the composition. Application: Musical instrument, pattern editor, prototyping. Limitations: Export semantics and timings; devices reproduce the drawing differently. <a id=\"variant-h143\"></a>\n- Vibration card. Role: Application. Features: Basic impulses. Input: touch, network. Rule: The author records a short rhythmic gesture, and the recipient plays it back at will. Application: Personal message, congratulations, creative exchange. Limitations: Playback must be started consciously and allow disconnection. <a id=\"variant-h144\"></a>\n- Tactile brush. Role: Application. Features: Rich tactility. Input: drag and drop. Rule: Response changes with stroke speed, selected tool, or boundary crossing. Applications: Drawing, game calligraphy, musical painting. Limitations: It creates an association with the tool rather than the actual surface roughness. <a id=\"variant-h145\"></a>\n- Mastering the rhythmic pattern. Role: Application. Features: Basic impulses. Input: touch. Rule: The student feels the sample, reproduces it and receives distinguishable hit and error signals. Application: Musical training, note durations, meter. Limitations: Test the transfer of the skill to the desired real instrument separately. <a id=\"variant-h146\"></a>\n- The rhythm of inhalation and exhalation. Role: Application. Features: Rich tactility. Input: timer. Rule: Smooth rise and fall or two different patterns indicate the phases of the selected comfort cycle. Application: Relaxation, short pause, meditative game. Limitations: Without a separate sensor, the application does not know the real breathing; No medical effect is claimed. <a id=\"variant-h147\"></a>\n- Focus on sensation. Role: Application. Features: Basic impulses. Input: timer, touch. Rule: The user notices rare impulses and marks them with a touch without competitive evaluation. Application: Exercise on attention, a calm interactive scene. Limitations: Provide the ability to immediately stop the session and adjust the duration. <a id=\"variant-h148\"></a>\n- Soft tactile toy. Role: Application. Features: Rich tactility. Input: touch, sensors. Rule: Gestures evoke comfortable short drawings, and the user chooses the appropriate responses. Application: Virtual fidget, sandbox, anti-stress toy. Limitations: Comfort is individual; Do not pass off an entertainment instrument as treatment. <a id=\"variant-h149\"></a>\n- Waveform comparison. Role: Application. Features: Rich tactility. Input: touch. Rule: The user changes the duration, rhythm, intensity and envelope and compares the sensations in pairs. Application: Teaching haptic design, palette checking, effects editor. Limitations: Distinguish between subjective assessment and physical measurement; results are linked to the device. <a id=\"variant-h150\"></a>"},{"id":"context","title":"Context and limits","body":"Author's systematization: 160 cards in 16 groups.
