Artificial reality devices, including haptic devices and coupling sensors

A wearable device for creating haptic stimulations, comprising:

• a garment configured to be worn on a portion of a wearer's body;
• and
• a haptic assembly attached to the garment, the haptic assembly comprising:
• an inflatable bladder fluidically coupled to a pressure-changing device, the pressure-changing device being configured to control a fluid pressure of the inflatable bladder;
• a support structure, attached to a portion of the inflatable bladder, that includes a predefined pattern of cuts, the support structure being configured to deform in one or more directions according to (i) a design of the predefined pattern of cuts and (ii) in relation to a fluid pressure inside the inflatable bladder,
• wherein when the inflatable bladder receives fluid via the pressure-changing device, the inflatable bladder expands, thereby:
• (i) providing a haptic stimulation to a wearer of the garment;
• and
• (ii) causing the support structure to (a) deform in the one or more directions and (b) reinforce the inflatable bladder in the one or more directions.

A system for creating haptic stimulations, comprising:

• a computing device;
• a pressure-changing device in communication with the computing device;
• a garment configured to be worn on a portion of a wearer's body;
• and
• a haptic assembly comprising:
• an inflatable bladder fluidically coupled to a pressure-changing device, the pressure-changing device being configured to control a fluid of the inflatable bladder;
• a support structure, attached to a portion of the inflatable bladder, that includes a predefined pattern of cuts, the support structure being configured to deform in one or more directions according to (i) a design of the predefined pattern of cuts and (ii) in relation with a fluid pressure inside the inflatable bladder, wherein when the inflatable bladder receives fluid via the pressure-changing device, the inflatable bladder expands, thereby:
• (i) providing a haptic stimulation to a wearer of the garment;
• and
• (ii) causing the support structure to (a) expand in the one or more directions and also (b) reinforce the inflatable bladder in the one or more directions.
