  • ARTIFICIAL REALITY DEVICES, INCLUDING HAPTIC DEVICES AND COUPLING SENSORS
    Publication number: 20210081048
    Abstract: An apparatus for creating haptic stimulations is provided. The apparatus includes an inflatable bladder and a support structure attached to a portion of the inflatable bladder. The inflatable bladder is fluidically coupled to a pressure-changing device that is configured to control a fluid pressure of the inflatable bladder. The support structure includes a predefined pattern of cuts, and is configured to expand (or otherwise deform) in one or more directions according to a design of the predefined pattern of cuts and in relation with a fluid pressure inside the inflatable bladder. When the inflatable bladder receives the fluid from the source, the inflatable bladder expands, which causes the support structure to expand in the one or more directions and also to reinforce the inflatable bladder in the one or more directions. A wearable device and a system for creating haptic simulations are also disclosed.
