  • Haptic systems, devices, and methods using transmission of pressure through a flexible medium
    Patent number: 9058728
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for producing haptic actuation are disclosed. An exemplary haptic system comprises a transducer and a transmission medium. The transducer induces pressure waves within the transmission medium, which is a sealed capsule with a flexible geometry. A surface of the sealed capsule thus produces haptic effects on a contact surface.
