1. A haptic system comprising:
a substrate extending parallel a vibration plane;
a set of drive and sense electrodes arranged on the substrate;
a first haptic coil:
coupled to a set of layers of the substrate; and
configured to generate a magnetic field proximal the vibration plane;
a first magnetic element facing the first haptic coil and configured to magnetically couple to the first haptic coil; and
a controller configured to:
read a first set of force values from the set of drive and sense electrodes;
interpret a first force magnitude of a first input over the substrate based on the first set of force values; and
in response to the first force magnitude exceeding a threshold force magnitude, drive a first electrical signal across the first haptic coil to induce alternating magnetic coupling between the first haptic coil and the first magnetic element and oscillate the substrate in the vibration plane relative the first magnetic element.
