Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for a sensory augmentation system. In some examples, the sensory augmentation system includes a first electro-tactile stimulator comprising at least one user interaction element driven by a driver and contactable to a human body to provide stimulation having a first stimulation waveform and a signal generation and sensing processor configured to receive data corresponding to information to be communicated to the user. The signal generation and sensing processor may generate a first instruction to the driver, the first instruction corresponding to the first stimulation waveform. The driver may generate the stimulation having the first stimulation waveform in response to the first instruction.
Abstract: A smart ring is provided. The smart ring includes a ring body configured to be worn on a finger of a user. The smart ring includes a capacitive touch sensor coupled to the ring body. The capacitive touch sensor is configured to receive a touch input from the user and convert the touch input into an input signal. The smart ring includes a processor coupled to the capacitive touch sensor. The processor is configured to receive the input signal from the capacitive touch sensor and generate a transmission signal using the input signal. The smart ring further includes a communications interface coupled to the processor. The communications interface is configured to transmit the transmission signal to another device.
