Abstract
A haptic device is provided that includes a first haptic assembly, comprising (i) a first end effector, and (ii) a first actuator coupled with the first end effector. The first actuator is configured to move the first end effector in first direction(s). The first haptic assembly is configured to create a first haptic stimulation or a second haptic stimulation, felt by a wearer of the haptic device, when the first actuator moves the first end effector in the first direction(s). The haptic device includes a second haptic assembly, comprising: (i) a second end effector, and (ii) a second actuator coupled with the second end effector. The second actuator is configured to move the second end effector in second direction(s). The second haptic assembly is configured to create a third haptic stimulation, felt by the wearer, when the second actuator moves the second end effector in the second direction(s).
