Here is a paper on
haptics and audio for
mobile phones authored by Conor
O'Sullivan and Angela Chang at this
year's ICAD conference. ICAD, the
International Conference on Auditory
Display was held this year in Limerick,
Ireland.

The paper is called 'Dimensional Design;
Explorations of the Auditory and Haptic
Correlate for the Mobile Device'. It
explains various methods of design for
the mobile device, using Motorola's
E398 as an engine for testing and
audio-haptic design.

This paper shows how design for the
mobile phone can be enhanced by
audio-haptics. This applies to
sound/music enhancements in addition
to overall UI interactions.

Motorola's product portfolio already
contain a number of haptic-capable
products.
