Kudos.

Haptic Technology is that new amazing breakthrough I would like to play with some day.

This is cool, is there room for more subtlety in the haptic feedback? For example, are you using different stuff for low, mids, high?

Also, has anyone played with bass shakers? I’ve considered trying to rig one up to my office chair.

I'm mapping the range of low frequencies in the audio from around 40hz to 200hz to haptic "sharpness" values. So different bass notes feel different as they move across that range. Going above those frequencies was too noisy, though there are probably smart ways to incorporate them.
