Abstract
Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for delivering a customizable feedback stimulus. In one implementation, a custom feedback device comprises a shell housing having a first shell and a second shell. The shell housing opening extends between an outer surface of the first shell and an outer surface of the second shell. A plurality of protrusions extends between the first shell and the second shell, and at least one receiving area is defined by the plurality of protrusions between the first shell and the second shell. The receiving area is adapted to house a customized portion.
Claims20
A custom feedback device comprising:
- a first shell having a first inner surface disposed opposite a first outer surface, the first inner surface including at least one of a ridge or a groove;
- a second shell having a second inner surface disposed opposite a second outer surface;
- the first shell releasably engageable to the second shell to form a shell housing based on a connection between the first shell and the second shell, the connection forming:
- a side receiving area around a side of the shell housing;
- and
- a corner receiving area at a corner of the shell housing, the side receiving area and the corner receiving area defined between the first shell and the second shell;
- a first customized portion of a plurality of customized portions adapted to be housed at the side receiving and mate with the ridge or the groove of the first shell by having a shape complementary to the ridge or the groove;
- and
- a second customized portion of the plurality of customized portions adapted to be housed at the corner receiving area.
A custom feedback device comprising:
- a first shell having a first inner surface disposed opposite a first outer surface, the first inner surface including a first insert receiver;
- a second shell having a second inner surface disposed opposite a second outer surface, the second inner surface including a second insert receiver;
- the first shell releasably engageable to the second shell to form a shell housing by forming a connection between the first shell and the second shell, the connection forming:
- a first side receiving area positioned around a first side of the shell housing;
- a second side receiving area positioned around a second side of the shell housing;
- and
- a corner receiving area positioned at a corner of the shell housing between the first side receiving area and the second side receiving area;
- and
- a customized portion adapted to be housed at the first side receiving area by mating with the first insert receiver and the second insert receiver based on having a shape complementary to the first insert receiver and the second insert receiver.
A custom feedback device comprising:
- a first shell having a first inner surface disposed opposite a first outer surface;
- a second shell having a second inner surface disposed opposite a second outer surface, the first inner surface or the second inner surface including an insert receiver;
- the first shell releasably engageable to the second shell to form a shell housing by forming a connection between the first shell and the second shell, the connection forming:
- one or more side receiving areas positioned around one or more sides of the shell housing;
- and
- a corner receiving area positioned at a corner of the shell housing, the corner receiving area and the one or more side receiving areas being defined between the first shell and the second shell;
- and
- one or more customized portions adapted to be housed at the one or more side receiving areas or the corner receiving area by having a shape complementary to the insert receiver for mating with the insert receiver.
