  • Patent number: 12271526
    Abstract: This invention introduces a haptic communication system designed for high-bandwidth tactile interaction by converting external signals into dynamic patterns traced on the user's skin. It comprises a flexible, fabric-like mesh with a densely packed array of compact actuators. Activated sequentially, these actuators tap the skin, creating lines or patterns for tactile communication or sensory replacement. The mesh is adaptable for integration into wearable technology or electronic device casings, suitable for applications ranging from assistive devices for sensory impairments to immersive gaming and virtual reality experiences. The actuators are arranged in an array, with a controller managing power delivery to individual actuators, triggering movement for precise haptic feedback. This system offers a method for delivering nuanced, adjustable tactile sensations, paving the way for new forms of non-visual, non-auditory communication and interaction in diverse environments.
