Ran Zhang | TactKit

TactKit is a toolkit designed for prototyping tactile feedback for wearable devices. It includes both hardware models and code for modulating tactile patterns. Our sense of touch is extraordinary and multimodal, and TactKit goes beyond vibrations by drawing inspiration from touch gestures between people, bringing a wider range of tactile feedback patterns into wearable devices. TactKit also provides a community platform where users can download 3D models and test pre-set patterns. With this toolkit, users can design and test tactile feedback for their projects or explore new tactile feedback options and contribute new ideas to the community.
