Wearable device with haptic feedback and stimulations for the physicalization of remote digital interaction

Abstract

A wearable device with a tangible user interface to provide haptic feedback and multi-sensorial stimulation for the physicalization of remote digital interaction, which comprises a headband, an array of haptic/kinesthetic feedback actuators, the first earpiece and the second earpiece, physiological sensing modules, and dynamic position sensing modules. The array of the haptic/kinesthetic feedback actuators is embedded, and evenly or unevenly distributed, in the headband. The invention has the following advantages compared to the prior arts: the solution introduces haptic and kinesthetic feedback and stimulation into remote communication and digital interaction, and more specifically, involves a device with a dual-layers interface, comprising of a haptic-based tangible layer and an audio channel, through which introduces tactile and kinesthetic feedback into remote communication, and translates gestures, facial expressions, tone of voice, and other tangible stimuli into haptic representations, following the principle guided by the ‘tactile and kinesthetic feedback semantic database’.
