Smart Clothing for Simulated Touch and Concussive Force

摘要

A smart clothing device that is utilized for simulated touch and concussive force provides a force simulation element positioned between a rigid outer material and a flexible inner material. The rigid outer material supports the force simulation element and ensures an impact force is directed inwards, towards the flexible inner material. The rigid outer material and the flexible inner material are formed into a garment corresponding to a desired body part upon which the impact force is to be directed. A control unit actuates the force simulation element in response to a command or signal received from a trigger device. The control unit can vary the specific amount of force and the duration for which the impact force is imparted on the desired body part. The trigger device can be any electronic device either running a software program or producing a detectable signal.
