Modular unit cell devices configured to be integrated in various wearable devices, and methods of use thereof

A method of providing haptic feedback, the method comprising:

• at a wearable device, including:
• (i) a first unit cell that includes a haptic-feedback generator, wherein the haptic-feedback generator is of a first type and is located at a first position on a surface of the wearable device and the first haptic unit cell is configured to be in contact with skin of a user,
• (ii) a second unit cell that includes another haptic-feedback generator, wherein the other haptic-feedback generator is of the first type and is located at a second position on the wearable device that is adjacent to the first position and the second haptic unit cell is also configured to be in contact with the skin of the user, and
• (iii) a connection between the first unit cell and the second unit cell, the connection being adjustable to move the first unit cell away from the first position or the second unit cell away from the second position, wherein the connection is above the surface:
• causing a size adjustment to either a haptic-feedback generator of a first unit cell or the other haptic-feedback generator to provide a first type of haptic feedback to a user wearing the wearable device;
• and
• causing a positional adjustment, via the connection, to move the haptic-feedback generator away from the first position to provide a second type of haptic feedback to the user, the second type of haptic feedback being a distinct type of haptic feedback as compared to the first type of haptic feedback.

A system, comprising:

• an artificial reality device that is in communication with a wearable device;
• and
• the wearable device, including:
• (i) a first unit cell that includes a haptic-feedback generator, wherein the haptic-feedback generator is of a first type and is located at a first position a surface of on the wearable device and the first haptic unit cell is configured to be in contact with skin of a user,
• (ii) a second unit cell that includes another haptic-feedback generator, wherein the other haptic-feedback generator is of the first type and is located at a second position on the surface of the wearable device that is adjacent to the first position and second haptic unit cell is also configured to be in contact with the skin of the user, and
• (iii) a connection between the first unit cell and the second unit cell, the connection being adjustable to move the first unit cell away from the first position or the second unit cell away from the second position, wherein the connection is above the surface:
• one or more processors of the system configured to:
• cause a size adjustment to either a haptic-feedback generator of a first unit cell or the other haptic-feedback generator to provide a first type of haptic feedback to a user wearing the wearable device, wherein the size adjustment corresponds to an artificial reality displayed at the artificial reality device;
• and
• cause a positional adjustment, via the connection, to move the haptic-feedback generator away from the first position to provide a second type of haptic feedback to the user, the second type of haptic feedback being a distinct type of haptic feedback as compared to the first type of haptic feedback, wherein the positional adjustment corresponds to an artificial reality displayed at the artificial reality device.
