Wearable data communication apparatus, kits, methods, and systems

A wearable, comprising:

• a plurality of data communication devices comprising a plurality of haptic energy generators operable to output a haptic energy toward skin of a limb of a wearer;
• an electrical network that spans between the plurality of data communication devices operable to transmit data and power between the plurality of haptic energy generators;
• a physiological sensor that is operable to output physiological data associated with the limb of the wearer when positioned against the skin;
• a sleeve including a structure that maintains a spacing between the plurality of data communication devices and that is wearable around the limb of the wearer, the structure being formed of a material that is expandable to receive the limb of a wearer and contractable about the limb of a wearer to exert a compressive force about the limb of the wearer to maintain a position the plurality of data communication devices, the electrical network, and the physiological sensor on or adjacent to the skin;
• and
• a control system operable to cause the plurality of haptic energy generators to output the haptic energy responsive to one of the physiological data from the physiological sensor and an external data source in data communication with the control system.

A wearable, comprising:

• at least three data communication devices comprising a plurality of haptic energy generators operable to output a haptic energy toward skin of a limb of a wearer;
• an electrical network that spans between the at least three data communication devices operable to transmit data and power between the plurality of haptic energy generators;
• a physiological sensor operable to output physiological data associated with the limb of the wearer when positioned against the skin;
• a sleeve that is removably engageable with the at least three data communication devices, capable of maintaining a spacing between the at least three data communication devices, and is wearable around the limb of the wearer to position the at least three data communication devices, the electrical network, and the physiological sensor on or adjacent to the skin;
• and
• a control system operable to cause the plurality of haptic energy generators to output the haptic energy responsive to one of the physiological data from the physiological sensor and an external data source in data communication with the control system,
• wherein the at least three data communication devices are arranged in a substantially triangular shape.
