HAPTIC PERIPHERAL HAVING A PLURALITY OF DEFORMABLE MEMBRANES

摘要

A haptic peripheral includes a housing with a frame having a plurality of spaced apart windows, a plurality of coverings, each covering positioned within the plurality of spaced apart windows, and a haptic output device disposed within the housing and coupled to the plurality of coverings. The haptic output device includes a motor configured to receive a control signal from a processor and to provide rotary motion relative to the housing in response to the control signal, and a converter configured to convert the rotary motion provided by the motor to linear motion to thereby radially extend the plurality of coverings relative to the housing and thereby provide a haptic effect to a user of the haptic peripheral.
