One illustrative device (101) disclosed herein includes a proximity sensor (132) capable of detecting a non-contact interaction with a touch-sensitive device and outputting a first sensor signal. The device (101) also includes a touch sensor (108) for detecting a touch on the touch-sensitive device and outputting a second sensor signal. The disclosed device (101) also includes a processor (102) configured to receive the first and second sensor signals, generate a haptic output signal based at least in part on the first and second sensor signals, transmit the haptic output signal to a haptic output device (118). The haptic output device (118) in the disclosed device (101) then outputs the haptic effect.
