Abstract:
A haptic device includes a shape memory polymer member. A plurality of user interface locations is defined on the shape memory polymer member and a plurality of activation elements is located proximate to the plurality of user interface locations. The plurality of user interface locations of the shape memory polymer are activated in response to a stimulus from the plurality of activation elements to alter at least one physical property of the shape memory polymer at the plurality of user interface locations. Additionally, a plurality of control devices configured for adjusting a variable of a system is located proximate to the plurality of user interface locations such that, one of the plurality of control devices may be adjusted when a user touches a corresponding one of the plurality of user interface locations.
