In the illustrated example of FIG. 14B, a 3×2 two dimensional array of cutaneous actuators 1440-1450 is represented by concentric circles, with each set of two concentric circles representing one cutaneous actuator. The cutaneous actuators 1440-1450 are labeled for haptic syllable 1430, but are not repeatedly labeled for haptic syllables 1432-1438 for clarity. However, the cutaneous actuators indicated in haptic syllables 1432-1438 are the same as those in the same positions in haptic syllable 1430. This two dimensional array of cutaneous actuators 1440-1450 may correspond to the two dimensional array of cutaneous actuators 1104 in FIG. 11A.
