The proposed innovation will pioneer next-generation haptic devices and interfaces to enrich and enhance remote interactions within applications of gaming, remote communication, military use and assistive aids. Although gaming is targeted initially, a haptic belt immediately generalizes across diverse domains where augmented perception of those around us and objects of interest enhances and quickens awareness of our present situation. Moreover, the availability of a commercial haptic belt will open new vistas for research and development within research areas of human haptic perception, multimodal display design and interaction, human-centered multimedia computing and socio-behavioral computing.Commercial availability of the proposed innovation will be a catalyst for the development of assistive technologies that will positively impact the lives of individuals with sensory impairments (visual impairments, vestibular impairments) and perceptual impairments (prosopagnosia)- a market the team plans to eventually transition to after gaming. It will also significantly impact the general population, providing a novel communication channel with many uses from navigation and spatial orientation to augmented/virtual reality, and to the perceptual enhancement of togetherness, important for long distance relationships and families often separated by the travel demands of work. The availability of a haptic belt will also benefit component disciplines including psychophysics and psychology of haptics were access to a functional, scalable and reconfigurable haptic display will attract and motivate researchers exploring the sense of touch as a receptive channel.

拟议的创新将开创下一代触觉设备和界面，以丰富和增强游戏，远程通信，军事用途和辅助辅助工具应用中的远程交互。虽然最初的目标是游戏，但触觉带立即推广到不同的领域，在这些领域中，对我们周围的人和感兴趣的物体的增强感知增强并加快了对我们当前情况的意识。此外，商用触觉带的推出将为人类触觉感知、多模态显示设计和交互、以人为中心的多媒体计算和社会行为计算等研究领域的研究和开发开辟新的前景。拟议创新的商业推出将促进辅助技术的发展，从而对感官障碍者的生活产生积极影响（视觉障碍，前庭障碍）和知觉障碍（面容失认症）-该团队计划在游戏结束后最终过渡到这个市场。它还将对普通人群产生重大影响，提供一种新的通信渠道，从导航和空间定位到增强/虚拟现实，以及对团聚的感知增强，这对于长途关系和经常因工作旅行需求而分开的家庭来说非常重要。触觉带的可用性也将有利于组成学科，包括心理物理学和触觉心理学，获得功能性，可扩展和可重构的触觉显示器将吸引和激励研究人员探索触觉作为接受通道。
