Wearable Haptic Feedback System and Interfaces

Abstract

Haptic devices could be used in a variety of fields. This study depicted the leading design and prototyping steps of some wearable haptic devices and interfaces in different areas. The study first introduced the handed-worn haptic device. Next, the study pointed out the vested worn haptic devices. Finally, it presented the devices by foot wearing. As well as a variety of wearable device application technology, the main design opens new possibilities for future devices. Different materials are used for various types of equipment and principles, which could improve the device's performance. Ideally, wearable haptic devices have a multifunctional impact that can ease the users' body burden and the putting on and taking off process. By analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of various wearable devices, a few points still need to be improved. With the enormous probe of empowerment of wearable technology and interfaces in industries, intelligent wearable haptic will be applied in more fields. And make human life more convenient and efficient.
