Abstract
A haptic garment, such as a haptic glove, is provided. The haptic glove is operative to measure haptic properties of a skin of a user wearing the haptic glove, using haptic sensors, to transmit a representation of the measured haptic properties to another haptic garment, e.g., another haptic glove worn by another user, to receive a representation of measured haptic properties of a skin of the other user from the other haptic glove, and, in response to detecting contact between the haptic glove and the other haptic glove, to render the received representation of the haptic properties of the skin of the other user within an area of contact between the haptic glove and the other haptic glove using haptic actuators. The representations of measured haptic properties are exchanged via communications modules comprised in the haptic gloves.
