  • Haptic feedback glove
    Patent number: 10809804
    Abstract: A haptic feedback glove may include an inner glove made of a flexible material, thimbles over each finger and thumb, and tendons coupled to each finger thimble. One or more actuators may be connected to each tendon, so that the tendons may be used to apply pressure to the fingers. Tactors in the finger thimbles and on palm panels may also be used to provide haptic feedback.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 28, 2018
    Date of Patent: October 20, 2020
    Assignee: HAPTX, INC.
    Inventors: Marc Y. Goupil, Bodin L. Rojanachaichanin, Kurt C. Sjoberg, Paul Piller, Nicholas J. Bonafede, Jr., Ryan M. Takatsuka

  • HAPTIC FEEDBACK GLOVE
    Publication number: 20180335842
    Abstract: A human-computer interface system including: a sensor configured to transduce the location of a finger of a hand of a user; an exoskeleton configured to exchange mechanical energy with the finger; and an interface garment, including: an interface laminate coupled to a counterpressure assembly, configured to stimulate the user by applying a pressure to the finger; a first plurality of tactile actuators configured to apply a pressure to a finger of the user; and a second plurality of tactile actuators configured to apply a pressure to a palm of the hand of the user.
