Project Overview
RüttelFlug is a wearable framework for haptic feedback on the arm, developed at TECO as part of the TECO Wearable Framework (TWS). It provides programmable vibration patterns to convey feedback for applications in sports, rehabilitation, or augmented perception. () It demonstrates how haptic stimuli can guide user attention or deliver spatial information through wearable vibrotactile feedback.
Our Goal
Develop a wearable device that uses vibration motors to deliver spatially and temporally controlled haptic feedback on the arm. Explore the use of haptic feedback in motion-based applications such as sports coaching or navigation. Integrate the system within the modular TECO Wearable Framework (TWS) for rapid prototyping.
Highlights
Modular design with multiple vibration modules arranged along the arm for rich feedback. Application in sports (motion correction), assistive feedback, and immersive systems. Fully integrated into TWS for reuse and extension in future wearable projects.
Impact
Enables intuitive, non-visual feedback in wearables — beneficial for accessibility, sports, and VR applications. Demonstrates how physical sensations can enhance user awareness and task performance. Serves as a reference platform for future haptic-feedback research at TECO.
