Design of a light-weight wearable haptic interface that guide users during physical exercise using an illusory pulling sensation.

Development of a low-cost wearable device that provides haptic feedback during movement. The device facilitates remote connections, thereby enabling individuals to connect with each other at a distance, for example a patient and caregiver for care at home, or a virtual coach with an athlete. This feedback is based on so called ‘pseudo-forces’, asymmetric vibrations that trick the brain into feeling a pulling sensation.
