ABSTRACT:
A seat-based tactile sensation generator capable of producing tactile sensation to a video game player corresponding to activity portrayed in a video game. Specifically, in response to signals produced by the video game, a control circuit generator produces control signals for the seat-based tactile sensation generator. The tactile sensation generator contains an array of actuators embedded within a foam seating pad. A specific arrangement of actuators positions the actuators proximate particular portions of a game player's body. Each actuator or group of actuators interacts with the player and is individually activated to produce a localized tactile sensation, e.g., an impact or vibration, corresponding to the action portrayed by the video game as it occurs.
