Finger-mounted device with sensors and haptics

摘要

The finger-mounted device may include finger-mounted units. The finger-mounted units may each have a support structure for components such as force sensors, accelerometers, and other sensors, and a body that functions as a support structure for the haptic output devices. The body can have sidewall portions that are joined by a portion that lies adjacent to the user ' s nail. The body may be formed of a deformable material, such as a metal, or may be formed of adjustable structures, such as sliding body portions that are coupled together using magnetic attraction, a spring, or other structures. The body of each finger-mounted unit may have a U-shaped cross-sectional profile that keeps the finger pads of each finger exposed when the body is engaged with the fingertips of the user's finger. The control circuit can use the sensors to collect the finger press input, the lateral finger movement input, and the finger tap input, and to provide a haptic output using the haptic output device.
