  • COMPLIANCE TACTILE FEEDBACK DEVICE
    Publication number: 20160358428
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for communicating tactile information to a user about a remote or virtual environment may include providing a device having a plurality of contact surfaces that are connected to one another. One or more actuators may move the contact members relative to one another in order to communicate tactile information to a user. Tactile information may be communicated by replicating the compliance of a remote or virtual object.
