SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING REAL-TIME DIRECTIONAL HAPTIC OUTPUT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240017166 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING REAL-TIME DIRECTIONAL HAPTIC OUTPUT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and methods for generating real-time directional haptic output that can be perceived by a user. It involves a haptic computing device that receives an audio input and provides real-time directional haptic output that can be felt by the user. The haptic computing device is connected to a haptic output device, which delivers the real-time directional haptic output. The patent also describes a computer-implemented method for generating this type of haptic output.

  • The haptic computing device receives an audio input and generates real-time directional haptic output.
  • The haptic output device is connected to the haptic computing device and delivers the real-time directional haptic output.
  • The method for generating real-time directional haptic output is implemented using a computer.

Potential Applications:

  • Virtual reality and augmented reality experiences: The technology can enhance immersion by providing real-time directional haptic feedback in virtual environments.
  • Gaming: The haptic output can be used to enhance the gaming experience by providing tactile feedback in response to in-game events.
  • Accessibility: The technology can be used to provide directional haptic feedback to individuals with visual impairments, allowing them to navigate and interact with digital interfaces.

Problems Solved:

  • Lack of realistic tactile feedback in virtual environments: The technology solves the problem of limited haptic feedback in virtual reality and augmented reality experiences by providing real-time directional haptic output.
  • Limited accessibility for individuals with visual impairments: The technology solves the problem of limited accessibility by providing directional haptic feedback that can assist individuals with visual impairments in navigating and interacting with digital interfaces.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced user experience: The real-time directional haptic output improves immersion and engagement in virtual reality, augmented reality, and gaming applications.
  • Improved accessibility: The technology provides a new way for individuals with visual impairments to interact with digital interfaces, improving their accessibility and usability.
  • Realistic tactile feedback: The real-time directional haptic output provides a more realistic and immersive experience by simulating tactile sensations.
