20110109584 | TACTILE STIMULATION APPARATUS HAVING A COMPOSITE SECTION COMPRISING A SEMICONDUCTING MATERIAL - Embodiments of tactile stimulation apparatuses and components of such apparatuses are generally described herein. For example, in one embodiment, a tactile stimulation apparatus is provided. This tactile stimulation apparatus has a composite section comprising an insulation region and a semiconducting region that is proximate to the insulation region. This insulation region is touchable by a body member. Additionally included is a voltage source proximate to the semiconducting region. Here, the voltage source is configured to charge the semiconducting region to an electric potential, which produces an electrosensory sensation on the body member. | 05-12-2011 |

20130016042 | HAPTIC DEVICE WITH TOUCH GESTURE INTERFACE - A haptic device may allow a user to explore the tactile sensations associated with information being displayed on a display. This methodology can be referred to as a “hold-and-feel” mode. The user may first perform a gesture to inform the device to hold the display stationary, in order to explore the information, instead of scrolling or panning the information on the display. For example, to enter the “hold-and-feel” mode, a user may press one finger on the side of the screen to lock the information content with respect to the screen so that the display contents are no longer moved as the user slides another finger over the screen. In a haptic device that supports tactile sensory stimulation, this “hold-and-feel” mode allows the user to feel one or more objects or elements (e.g., a link or image) on the screen, for example, as variations of surface texture. | 01-17-2013 |

20140354570 | HAPTIC COMPANION DEVICE - A haptic companion device may take the example form of a haptic cover that includes a housing and a transparent component. The housing may be shaped and dimensioned to receive a host device that includes a touch screen, and the touch screen may be configured to sense an input by a body member of a user of the host device. The transparent component overlays the touch screen of the host device when the haptic companion device is in use, and graphical objects displayed on the touch screen of the host device are visible through the transparent component. The haptic companion device includes a communication interface configured to communicatively couple the haptic companion device with the host device. The haptic companion device also includes electronic circuitry coupled to the transparent component. The electronic circuitry is configured to provide a haptic effect to the body member via the transparent component. | 12-04-2014 |
