Zusammenfassung:A method and controller for providing haptic stimulus to a user during operation of a vehicle are provided. The method comprises: obtaining at least one electrical signal 305 representative of one or both of environmental information and operational information, determining an oscillatory feedback configuration 610, via a processor 306 and an electronic control unit (ECU) 308, in dependence on said at least one electrical signal 305; and outputting the determined oscillatory feedback configuration 610 to a haptic output means 100, 104, 106 to provide the user with a haptic stimulus. The haptic output means 100, 104, 106 is associated with apparel for wearing by the user, the apparel may take the form of a safety helmet, a racing suit, a motorcycle suit, or footware.
