Taking an example of creating the sensation of a virtual actuator vibrating at an amplitude of A at location 834B of 
In other embodiments, α, β, and γ are determined as functions of Barycentric coordinates aC, aD, aE of the location of the cutaneous actuators 802C, 802D, 802E using one of the following equations: AC=aC×A;AD=aD×A;AE=aE×A??(5) AC=log(aC+1)/log(Amax+1)×A;AD=log(aD+1)/log(Amax+1)×A; AE=log(aE+1)/log(Amax+1)×A??(6) AC=√{square root over (aC)}×A;AD=√{square root over (aD)}×A;AE=√{square root over (aE)}×A??(7) where Amax is aC+aD+aE.
