This invention provides a wearable haptic modulation device that dynamically alters the perceived roughness of physical surfaces in real-time for MR environments.

The inventors have developed a wearable device that provides thermal haptic feedback to the ear.

The patent introduces an interactive ring-shaped wearable device that combines electric field sensing with machine learning (ML) to detect and analyze microgestures and continuous thumb movements.

The invention uses thermal haptic elements that offers thermal feedback on the white-cane grip which can be programmed to be useful for navigation as well as other notifications from a connected smartphone or nearby by surrounding devices to obtain a sense of directional cues or notifications on the move.

PropelWalker is a pair of calf-worn haptic devices for simulating the buoyancy and the resistant force when the human’s lower limbs are interacting with different fluids and materials in virtual reality (VR).

HapTwist is an interactive toolkit that facilitates the creation of interactive haptic proxies for hand-graspable VR objects.
