Abstract
A haptic communication device includes an array of cutaneous actuators to generate haptic sensations corresponding to actuator signals received by the array. The haptic sensations include at least a first haptic sensation and a second haptic sensation. The array includes at least a first cutaneous actuator to begin generating the first haptic sensation at a first location on a body of a user at a first time. A second cutaneous actuator begins generating the second haptic sensation at a second location on the body of the user at a second time later than the first time.
