Sensing device suitable for haptic perception applications

A tactile sensing device, comprising:

• an elastically deformable annular band wearable as a ring on a user's finger, defining a lower part of the annular band configured to remain exposed and to be placed in direct contact with an object to be touched and with a user's finger, and an upper part of the annular band configured to remain in an inner compartment of the tactile sensing device, wherein the lower part of the annular band and the upper part of the annular band are integral to each other,
• a rigid support distinct from said elastically deformable annular band, wherein said rigid support is fixed over said upper part and placed outside said elastically deformable annular band;
• an electronic board fixed to said rigid support, having at last one vibration sensor and a microprocessor functionally configured to receive electrical signals generated by said at last one vibration sensor corresponding to vibrations transmitted on the electronic board;
• a rigid body comprising a rigid front cover and a rear cover distinct and separated from said rigid support and from said elastically deformable annular band, wherein said rigid front cover and said rigid rear cover are coupled together to define said inner compartment and at last one rigid curved surface configured to come into direct contact with said finger of the user, said front cover and said rear cover being configured to enclose in the inner compartment, when coupled together, the upper part of the annular band the electronic board and said rigid support, wherein said rigid support remains in contact with an inner face of the rigid body.
