10. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable storage media collectively storing program instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, are configured to cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
capturing, by a vibration sensor of a user device and from a physical environment in real-time during a particular contextual condition, a haptic effect, the haptic effect defined by a waveform;
saving the haptic effect with a name corresponding to the particular contextual condition that the haptic effect is captured from in real-time using the vibration sensor to a haptic effect library, the haptic effect library containing a plurality of captured haptic effects; and
mapping the haptic effect to at least one software feature, wherein the haptic effect is generated in response to the at least one software feature being activated.
