Abstract:
A kinesthetically enabled glove for providing kinesthetic feedback to a user are provided. The kinesthetically enabled glove incorporates various actuators configured to provide resistance to movement and/or to provide movement. Kinesthetic actuators employed include electroadhesive actuators, electromagnetic actuators, air-jamming actuators, and inertial mass actuators. The kinesthetic actuators are arranged in various portions of the kinesthetically enabled glove to provide force feedback at different locations. The kinesthetic glove may be employed during interaction with a computer system, providing a user with a more immersive experience.

Claim (Index 22):
A wearable device for providing kinesthetic effects, comprising:\n a glove including a plurality of finger portions and a glove body; and an actuator located in at least one finger portion of the plurality of finger portions and including:\n an inner portion configured for contact with a finger of a wearer and having an inner electrode secured thereto, and \n an outer portion secured to the glove and having an outer electrode secured thereto, the outer electrode being separated from the inner electrode by an insulation layer; \n wherein the actuator is configured to\n receive a command signal indicative of a virtual interaction, and \n provide an electroadhesive force by the inner electrode and the outer electrode, in response to the command signal, to execute a resistance to a movement of the glove which is a resistance to a bending movement of the at least one finger portion.
