Composite ribbon in a virtual reality device

A wearable device comprising:

• a wearable garment including a sleeve corresponding to a human body part, the sleeve having:
• a first ribbon layer of a first average width configured to be positioned on a first surface of the sleeve and formed lengthwise along a bend centerline of the sleeve that bisects a surface of the sleeve, the first ribbon layer comprising a first extendible material having a first range of elastic extensibility, and
• a second ribbon layer of a second average width greater than the first average width, the second ribbon layer configured to be positioned on the first surface of the sleeve and formed lengthwise along the bend centerline of the sleeve, a central axis of the second ribbon layer aligned with a central axis of the first ribbon layer, the second ribbon layer comprising a second extendible material having a second range of elastic extensibility greater than the first range of elastic extensibility of the first ribbon layer,
• wherein an actuator coupled to the wearable garment and the first and second ribbon layers is configured to control movement of the wearable garment by actuating one or more control wires that are coupled to the first and second ribbon layers.

A haptic glove comprising:

• a glove body including a glove digit corresponding to a phalange of a user hand, the glove digit having:
• a first ribbon layer of a first average width configured to be positioned on a first surface of the glove digit and formed lengthwise along a bend centerline of the glove digit that bisects a surface of the glove digit, the first ribbon layer comprising a first extendible material having a first range of elastic extensibility, and
• a second ribbon layer of a second average width greater than the first average width, the second ribbon layer configured to be positioned on the first surface of the glove digit and formed lengthwise along the bend centerline of the glove digit, a central axis of the second ribbon layer aligned with a central axis of the first ribbon layer, the second ribbon layer comprising a second extendible material having a second range of elastic extensibility greater than the first range of elastic extensibility of the first ribbon layer;
• one or more control wires coupled to the first and second ribbon layers;
• and
• an actuator coupled to the glove body and the first and second ribbon layers, the actuator configured to actuate the first and second ribbon layers to control movement of the glove digit using the one or more control wires.
