Wearable haptic feedback device

Abstract

Examples provide a wearable device including a pump in fluid communication with a plurality of valves and a haptic output portion including a plurality of membranes respectively corresponding to the plurality of valves. The plurality of membranes are selectively adjustable between an active state and an inactive state in accordance with a state of the plurality of valves. The device also includes an electronic processor configured to receive input from an external device, encode the input to a haptic sequence, and provide haptic feedback to the user by generating a control signal to open and close selected ones of the plurality of valves according to the haptic sequence, wherein opening a valve causes a corresponding membrane to inflate.
