HAPTIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240346896 titled 'HAPTIC DEVICE

The haptic device described in the patent application consists of a housing, a vibration body, a control device, and a band.

  • The housing accommodates the vibration body, which is controlled by the control device to provide tactile and force sensations to the user.
  • The band includes a fixed portion attached to the outer surface of the housing, allowing the user's body to be attached between a different portion of the band and a contact surface on the housing.

Potential Applications: - Virtual reality gaming - Medical simulations - Rehabilitation therapy - Remote communication devices - Training and education tools

Problems Solved: - Enhancing user experience in virtual environments - Providing realistic tactile feedback in simulations - Improving communication through haptic technology

Benefits: - Increased immersion and engagement in virtual experiences - Enhanced learning and training outcomes - Improved accessibility for individuals with disabilities

Commercial Applications: Title: "Revolutionizing User Experience with Haptic Technology" This technology can be utilized in various industries such as gaming, healthcare, education, and communication, offering innovative solutions for enhancing user interactions and experiences.

Questions about Haptic Devices: 1. How do haptic devices enhance user experiences in virtual reality? Haptic devices provide tactile feedback that increases immersion and realism in virtual environments, making the user experience more engaging and interactive.

2. What are the potential medical applications of haptic technology? Haptic technology can be used in medical simulations for training healthcare professionals, rehabilitation therapy for patients, and remote surgeries for telemedicine applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

the haptic device includes a housing and a vibration body accommodated in the housing. the haptic device includes a control device capable of presenting at least one of a tactile sensation and a force sensation to a user by controlling a vibration pattern of the vibration body. in addition, the haptic device includes a band including a first portion that is fixed to an outer surface of the housing. in the haptic device, a body of the user is able to be attached between an abutting portion of the band that is a portion different from the first portion, and a contact surface that is a part of the outer surface of the housing.
