Patent number: 11294467Abstract: Systems and methods for integrating environmental haptic effects in virtual reality are disclosed. One illustrative system described herein includes a sensor for detecting an environmental condition, the environmental condition associated with an environmental haptic effect, and generating a sensor signal. The system also includes a virtual reality display configured to output a virtual reality effect. The system also includes a processor coupled to the sensor and a virtual reality display, the processor configured to: receive the sensor signal, determine a modification to the virtual reality effect based in part on the sensor signal, and transmit a display signal associated with the modification to the virtual reality display. Another illustrative system includes a sensor for detecting an environmental condition, the environmental condition associated with an environmental haptic effect, and generating a sensor signal, and a virtual reality display configured to output a virtual reality effect.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2018Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Immersion CorporationInventors: Simon Forest, Razmik Mousakhanian, Liwen Wu, Vincent Levesque, Channy Uon

Publication number: 20190324536Abstract: A wearable device for providing haptic effects includes an open ring component configured to abut against to a first portion of a wearer. The open ring component has a C-shaped body with a first end, a second end spaced from and opposed to the first end, and a circumferential opening with a first width when the open ring component is in a non-actuated state. The open ring component includes a first laminate layer, a second laminate layer, and a macro-fiber composite actuator integrally formed with the first laminate layer and the second laminate layer. The macro-fiber composite actuator is configured to receive a command signal from a processor and deform to an actuated state in which the circumferential opening has a second width in response to the command signal to provide a force onto a second portion of the wearer that extends between the first end and the second end of the open ring component.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2018Publication date: October 24, 2019Inventors: Simon FOREST, Danny A. GRANT, Vahid KHOSHKAVA, Razmik MOUSAKHANIAN
