Abstract:
This disclosure relates to haptic devices for implantation in a human subject. Such haptic devices can include various actuators, including both active and passive haptic actuators, for providing feedback to a user.
Abstract:
A system includes an electronic device that includes a display screen, a cover configured to cover the display screen, a sensor configured to sense an input gesture comprising deformation and/or movement of the cover relative to the electronic device, and a processor configured to determine an action for the electronic device to perform based on the input gesture, to determine a haptic effect to generate based on the input gesture and/or the action for the electronic device to perform, and to initiate the action. The system also includes a haptic output device configured to generate the haptic effect.

Abstract:
A haptically-enabled device has an interface for receiving an instruction to provide haptic information. The device includes a tangible element with a physical property including length, stiffness, or texture. A haptic output device is attached to the tangible element and a haptic response module provides haptic information to the haptic output device. The haptic output device causes the tangible element to be altered from a first state to a second state of the physical property.
Abstract:
A system is provided that facilitates communication of haptic notification messages. The system receives a haptic notification message from a tool within a network, where the haptic notification message indicates that the tool has detected an event. The system further determines whether the haptic notification message is a haptic notification message that is required to be transmitted to at least one haptic notification device within the network. The system further transmits the haptic notification message to the at least one haptic notification device using the network in response to a determination that the haptic notification message is a haptic notification message that is required to be transmitted to at least one haptic notification device, where the at least one haptic notification device generates a haptic notification in response to receiving the haptic notification message.
Abstract:
A haptically enabled device has a user interface and generates haptic effects. The device receives an indication of a future contact by a user with the user interface based on an existing contact by the user on the device and, based on the indication, predicts a time and a location of the contact. Based on the prediction, the system determines a responsive haptic effect, and generates the responsive haptic effect using a haptic output device.

Abstract:
A system includes a memory device configured to store a virtual object and associated haptic asset, an augmented or virtual reality device configured to generate an augmented or virtual reality space configured to display the virtual object, and an electronic device that includes a haptic output device constructed and arranged to generate a haptic effect based on the haptic asset when the augmented or virtual reality device detects an interaction involving the virtual object.
