Abstract: A system that can deliver haptic feedback by applying an electrical stimulation to a first area of a user's body to induce a second area of the user's body to experience a level of natural sensation in response to an action occurring in a simulated remote environment and an intensity of the action is described. The system includes a controller to set parameters for the electrical stimulation based on the action occurring in the simulated remote environment and an intensity of the action. The system also includes a signal generator to generate the electrical stimulation comprising the parameters. The system also includes a skin surface electrode placed at a first location on a user's body remote from a second location on the user's body to deliver the electrical stimulation with the parameters to a nerve at or near the first area of the user's body.

Abstract: A re-usable wearable device includes a flexible PCB having a re-sizable hand portion with an attachment mechanism and at least one re-sizable digit portion. Each of the re-sizable digit portions includes at least one electrode connected to the flexible PCB by an adjustable electrode holder. Each electrode is positioned in close contact with the skin to provide electrical stimulation causing a referred sensation in another portion of the hand. Each electrode holder includes a setting with a track and anchoring mechanism for positioning the electrode at a radial position on the digit. The device can include sensors to measure the position and movements of the hand to augment or replace optical hand tracking information. The wearable device can provide referred sensation via electrical stimulation and improved position information.
