Abstract:
1. A haptic motion feedback device for communicating tactile feedback indicative of motion to a user interacting with a simulated three-dimensional (‘3D’) environment, the device comprising: A base comprising at least two portions that are stacked, wherein a first portion of the at least two portions is stationary, and wherein a second portion of the at least two portions is adapted to rotate in a 360-degree range about a central axis perpendicular to the second portion, thereby causing rotation of a belt assembly to indicate said motion of the object; and the belt assembly coupled to the base and comprising; wherein the base comprises at least two portions that are stacked, wherein a first portion of the at least two portions is stationary, and wherein a second portion of the at least two portions is adapted to rotate in a 360-degree range about a central axis perpendicular to the second portion, thereby causing rotation of the belt assembly to indicate said motion of the object.
