Problems solved by technology

However, these types of actuators are often bulky and often require a lot of power, making them difficult to incorporate into clothing or other wearable devices or accessories (i.e. jewelry, etc.)
Shape memory alloys have also been used in wearable devices, but again, energy consumption often limits their applicability and ease of integration
Additionally, using a one-size-fits-all approach to wearables in gaming and augmented or virtual reality is often suboptimal, especially when users want more realistic interactions and more contoured or personalized fits. when

Abstract

This disclosure relates to wearable articles, including wearable suits, etc., for providing haptic feedback to a user. The wearable articles suitably include adjustable interaction elements that can be fluidly connected to a liquid or gas supply, and can also include a haptic actuator. The wearable articles are useful in combination with various devices, including gaming systems and virtual or augmented reality systems.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to wearable articles, including wearable suits and the like, to provide haptic feedback to users. The wearable article may suitably include an adjustable interactive element, may be in fluid communication with a liquid or gas supply system, and may also include a haptic actuator. The wearable items are useful in conjunction with a variety of devices, including gaming systems and virtual or augmented reality systems. Background technique [0002] Traditionally, haptic feedback used on wearable devices is based on the use of eccentric rotating mass (ERM) motors and linear resonant actuators (LRA). However, these types of actuators are often bulky and often require a lot of power, making them difficult to incorporate into clothing or other wearable devices or accessories (i.e. jewelry, etc.). Shape memory alloys have also been used in wearable devices, but again, energy consumption often limits their applicability and ease...
