The change to the voltage may also be determined using the calibration data 1220. The haptic device may determine the point in the calibration data 1220 for the sensor where the user experienced a subjective level of force that matches the baseline level of force (1N in the above example). The haptic device determines the voltage from the sensor at that subjective level of force, and determines the equivalent voltage for the cutaneous actuator. This is the modified voltage that is applied to the cutaneous actuator. Following from the example above, the calibration data 1220 indicates that at 0.8V for the sensor, the user experienced a subjective level of force of 5. Again, assuming that the equivalence between the voltage of the sensor and the cutaneous actuator is one to one, the haptic device would apply a voltage of 0.8V to the cutaneous actuator, instead of 1V, resulting in the desired subjective level of force of 5 and matching the baseline.
