- Mechanisms for AR/VR/xR
AR that uses Electrical Muscle Stimulation on Head for Haptic Feedback
Description
The authors developed a prototype device that uses a custom circuit board and a 3D printed headband to provide targeted stimulation to specific muscles on the scalp. It works by actuating electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) electrodes on the head to provide haptic feedback. This technique could have potential applications in fields such as gaming, virtual reality, and medical rehabilitation.
