Abstract:
Embodiments hereof are directed to a haptic device having a pressure-sensitive suspension system. The haptic device includes a housing, a touch surface component mounted to the housing to be movable relative thereto, and a haptic actuator for providing haptic feedback to the touch surface component. At least one suspension component is disposed between the touch surface component and the housing. The suspension component is formed from an elastomer and includes pressure-sensing particles integrated into the elastomer. The pressure-sensing particles are configured to sense pressure applied to the touch surface component.

Claim (Index 35):
A compliant suspension system for a haptic device comprising:\n a first body; a second body mounted to the first body to be movable relative thereto; a haptic actuator for moving the second body relative to the first body and thereby provide a haptic feedback to the second body; at least one suspension component disposed between the first body and the second body, wherein the at least one suspension component includes an elastomer element having pressure-sensing particles integrated therewith, the pressure-sensing particles being configured to sense pressure applied to the second body; and a processor configured to\n receive a pressure signal from the pressure-sensing particles, \n output a haptic control signal to the haptic actuator in response to the pressure signal, and \n determine a location of the pressure applied to the second body in response to the pressure signal.
