well as movement of the perceived points to create tactile images such as geometric shapes and patterns. The technology allows for a far richer tactile experience than anything ever offered before. This is done through the exploitation of a tactile illusion.

For example… Imagine you're in a virtual sword fight and you get slashed across your torso. Using a product that is currently on the market, what you would feel is vibration or an impact. With HapSys’ technology, that vibration now becomes a line of pressure moving across your torso in the exact same area the sword hit. Or imagine you're playing a first person shooter, when you’re hit you could feel the exact area you were shot, which in turn would allow you to better gauge the location of the shooter, facilitating gameplay and increasing immersion. The current technology offers tactile feedback on a very vague point of contact. Our technology aims to change that to realistically emulate the exact points of contact on the body of the user.
