Products and processes for providing multimodal feedback in a user interface device are disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, an apparatus comprises a manipulandum and an actuator in communication with the manipulandum. In one embodiment, the actuator may be operable to provide haptic feedback to the manipulandum and to produce an audible sound correlated with the haptic feedback.

1. An apparatus comprising: a manipulandum;an actuator in communication with the manipulandum, the actuator operable to provide haptic feedback to the manipulandum, to communicate information regarding the characteristics of the actuator to a processor, and to produce an audible sound correlated with the haptic feedback, wherein the actuator is configured to receive an actuator signal and an audio signal, the actuator signal operative to cause the actuator to provide the haptic feedback and the audio signal operative to cause the actuator to produce the audible sound correlated with the haptic feedback;a second actuator, the second actuator configured to receive a second actuator signal and a second audio signal, the second actuator signal operative to cause the actuator to provide a second haptic feedback and the second audio signal operative to cause the actuator to produce a second audible sound correlated with the second haptic feedback. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a processor in communication with the actuator, the processor operable to send the actuator signal and the audio signal to the actuator. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the manipulandum comprises a gamepad. 4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the actuator comprises at least one of a direct current motor, a voice coil, a piezoelectric actuator, or an electroactive polymer. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a gaming system in communication with the manipulandum, and the actuator. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the actuator is mounted inside a vehicle. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the manipulandum comprises a first manipulandum and further comprising a second manipulandum disposed proximate to the first manipulandum. 8. A method comprising: receiving an input signal from a manipulandum; determining an actuator signal and an audio signal based at least in part on the input signal;transmitting the actuator signal and the audio signal to an actuator in communication with the manipulandum, the actuator operable to provide haptic feedback to the manipulandum based on the actuator signal, to communicate information regarding the characteristics of the actuator to a processor, and to produce an audible sound based on the audio signal and correlated with the haptic feedback; andreceiving a second actuator signal and a second audio signal, the second actuator signal operative to cause a second actuator to provide a second haptic feedback and the second audio signal operative to cause the actuator to produce a second audible sound correlated with the second haptic feedback. 9. The method of claim 8 further comprising providing a processor in communication with the actuator, the processor operable to receive the input signal, and to determine and transmit the actuator signal and the audio signal. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein the actuator comprises at least one of a direct current motor, a voice coil, a piezoelectric actuator, or an electroactive polymer. 11. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that, when executed, cause a processor to perform the steps of: receiving an input signal from a manipulandum;determining an actuator signal and an audio signal based at least in part of the input signal;transmitting the actuator signal and the audio signal to an actuator in communication with the manipulandum, the actuator operable to provide haptic feedback to the manipulandum based on the actuator signal, to communicate information regarding the characteristics of the actuator to a processor, and to produce an audible sound based on the audio signal and correlated with the haptic feedback; andreceiving a second actuator signal and a second audio signal, the second actuator signal operative to cause a second actuator to provide a second haptic feedback and the second audio signal operative to cause the actuator to produce a second audible sound correlated with the second haptic feedback.
