A wearable device for providing sensory feedback in an extended reality environment is disclosed. The device includes a band configured to enclose an anatomical location, such as a wrist, adjacent to a distal extremity, such as a hand. The band houses a plurality of electrodes that deliver transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to the distal extremity, eliciting distally referred sensations corresponding to the user's interaction with a digital object. A controller receives sensor signals indicative of movement of the distal extremity, determines the user's motor intent, and generates a sensory feedback signal to control the delivery of TENS pulses. The device allows for anatomically congruent sensory feedback in augmented reality environments without inhibiting natural interactions with physical objects.
