A system and method of simulating weight of a virtual object in a virtual environment includes receiving a weight adjusting profile in a handheld peripheral device. The weight adjusting profile corresponding to at least one weight characteristic and/or a movement characteristics of the virtual object presented in the virtual environment where the handheld peripheral device represents the virtual object. The handheld peripheral device includes a movable weight. The weight adjusting profile is stored in the handheld peripheral device and a position of the movable weight in the handheld peripheral device is adjusted to correspond to a movement of the virtual object in the virtual environment.

Systems and methods for providing feedback to a user are described. One of the methods includes sending interactive data for rendering on a head mounted display (HMD). The HMD is configured for attachment to a head of a user for playing a game. The method further includes receiving image data associated with a body part of the user while the HMD is worn by the user and the HMD renders interactive content. The method includes tracking a spatial position associated with the body part of the user from the image data of the user. In the method, physical placement of a remote-controlled device at the spatial position associated with the body part of the user is rendered in the HMD as virtual contact with an object in the interactive content.

A system for generating haptic effects receives haptic permissions settings and associates the haptic permissions settings with a range of permitted haptic parameters. The system receives haptic parameters and modifies/filters the haptic parameters based on the range of permitted haptic parameters. The system then generates a haptic signal based on the modified haptic parameters and outputs the haptic signal to a haptic output device to generate the haptic effects.

A game system includes a game device at least including a control unit, a storage unit, an output unit, an input unit and a send unit; a display device, integrally formed with the game device or separately formed from the game device, at least including an input unit connected to the game device and a display unit; and a data processing apparatus at least including a control unit, a storage unit, an output unit and a receive unit, wherein the control unit of the game device causes a game to progress by executing a game program, and controls the send unit to send a signal to the data processing apparatus when a predetermined condition is satisfied in accordance with a progression status of the game, and wherein in the data processing apparatus, when the receive unit receives the signal, the control unit performs a predetermined process based on the signal.
