Biosymbiotic haptic feedback - Sustained long term human machine interfaces.

Haptic technology permeates diverse fields and is receiving renewed attention for VR and AR applications. Advances in flexible electronics, facilitate the integration of haptic technologies into soft wearable systems, however, because of small footprint requirements face challenges of operational time requiring either large batteries, wired connections or frequent recharge, restricting the utility of haptic devices to short-duration tasks or low duty cycles, prohibiting continuously assisting applications. Currently many chronic applications are not investigated because of this technological gap.
