1. A dynamic tactile interface comprising:
a tactile layer defining a peripheral region and a deformable region adjacent the peripheral region, the deformable region operable between a retracted setting and an expanded setting, the deformable region tactilely distinguishable from the peripheral region in the expanded setting; a substrate comprising an attachment surface and coupled to the peripheral region, the substrate defining a fluid conduit adjacent the deformable region and a fluid channel fluidly coupled to the fluid conduit; a border region proximal a periphery of the substrate, the border region defining a cavity configured to receive an instrument, the cavity supporting the instrument in a first configuration and releasing the instrument in a second configuration; and a bladder fluidly coupled to the fluid channel and coupled to the cavity, the instrument compressing a portion of the bladder in the first configuration to displace fluid from the bladder into the fluid channel to transition the deformable region from the retracted setting to the expanded setting, the instrument releasing a portion of the bladder in the second configuration, wherein the border region defines a second cavity configured to receive the instrument, the second cavity supporting the instrument in a third configuration and releasing the instrument in the second configuration; wherein the tactile layer defines a second deformable region; wherein the substrate defines a second fluid channel and a second fluid conduit adjacent the second deformable region and fluidly coupled to the second fluid channel; further comprising a second bladder coupled to the second cavity, the instrument compressing a portion of the second bladder in the third configuration to displace fluid from the second bladder into the second fluid channel to transition the second deformable region from the retracted setting to the expanded setting, the instrument releasing the portion of the second bladder in the second configuration. |
