Haptic Driver Prototypes

After my father was in an accident requiring the amputation of his leg (and subsequent use of a prosthetic) and inspired by the book, Livewired, by David Eagleman, I wanted to see if miniature haptic arrays could be used to re-map sensation from a prosthetic leg to another part of the body. Over time, in theory, the brain will come to associate those new sensations with the lost sensations, closing a feedback loop and allowing more natural use of a prosthetic. I prototyped a few high-density haptic driver arrays.
