Abstract
A haptic apparatus is provided for stimulating a skin of a user to provide haptic feedback to the user. The haptic apparatus comprises an elastomeric substrate layer and multilayered electrical circuits comprising hydrogel electrodes for contacting the skin and electro-stimulating the skin to generate the haptic feedback. The multilayered electrical circuits are arranged on the elastomeric substrate layer, thereby avoiding forming the multilayered electrical circuits on a printed circuit board.
