The actuator signals 1426 output by the C-V pair haptic signal converter 1416 are transmitted to the cutaneous actuators 1428, which may be similar to the cutaneous actuators 1104 of FIG. 11B. Each actuator signal 1426 activates one of the cutaneous actuators 1428 for a duration of time (and in some embodiments, for a particular intensity, frequency, and so on). A set of examples of particular haptic outputs generated by the actuator signals 1428 corresponding to C-V pairs is described below with reference to FIG. 14D.
