Abstract
A grippable haptic device includes an input device that receives a user input, a 9-axis sensor that detects movement of a hand of the user, a vibrator that provides a tactile sensation to the user, and a motion sensor that detects whether the user grips the grippable haptic device. An insole-type haptic device includes an input device that receives a user input, a plurality of 9-axis sensors that detect movement of a foot of the user, a vibrator that provides a tactile sensation to a sole of the foot of the user, and a plurality of pressure sensors that are distributed across the insole-type haptic device and measure a pressure exerted at each position of the sole of the user.
Claims9
A grippable haptic device configured to transmit a tactile sensation to the user according to extended reality (XR) contents, comprising:
- an input device that receives a user input from the user;
- a 9-axis sensor that detects movement of the hand of the user;
- a vibrator that provides a tactile sensation to the user;
- a motion sensor that detects whether the user grips the grippable haptic device;
- a communication module that transmits and receives data between the grippable haptic device and an extended reality (XR) processor in accordance with a protocol format;
- and
- a power source that supplies electrical power to the gripped haptic device,
- wherein the grippable haptic device has a substantially cylindrical shape and is attached to a glove, and
- wherein the protocol format has a mirror structure where same data are transmitted twice, enabling comparison of paired data among the data received during asynchronous communication between the grippable haptic device and the XR processor for data validation.
