Inhibiting Freedom of Movement with Compression Feedback

Compression feedback uses inflatable straps to create uniform pressure sensations around limbs. Lower-pressure stimuli are well suited as a feedback channel for, e.g., notifications. However, operating compression feedback systems at higher pressure levels allows to physically inhibit movement. Here, we describe this modality and present a pervasive jogging game that employs physical inhibition to push runners to reach checkpoints in time.
