Developing a Modular Toolkit for Rapid Prototyping of Wearable Vibrotactile Haptic Harness

Abstract: This paper presents a toolkit for rapid harness prototyping. These wearable structures attach vibrotactile actuators to the body using modular elements like 3D printed joints, laser cut or vinyl cutter-based sheets and magnetic clasps. This facilitates easy customization and assembly. The toolkit's primary objective is to simplify the design of haptic wearables, making research in this field easier and more approachable.
