The haptic unit 170 may make an impact motion, so that the virtual reality in the game may be directly felt through the body, thereby improving immersion.

As shown in FIG. 7B, when multimedia such as a movie or a drama is played on a screen of a movie theater or an external terminal such as a television, a PC, or a smartphone in a home, multimedia information corresponding to the corresponding video information or sound information is present. It is transmitted wirelessly and delivered to the user's haptic garment 100, and according to the environment on the multimedia, haptic unit 170, heat generation unit 210, cooling unit 210, blowing unit 230, injection unit 250 ), And the speaker 270 may be driven.

For example, when a horror movie is being screened at a movie theater and a ghost catches a sneak shot from behind the main character in the movie, slowly driving the haptic unit 170 disposed on the shoulder of the haptic garment 100 worn by the user. This allows the user to add a haptic effect as if he is the main character in the movie to double the fear. In addition, when a scene in which the other party whispers in the main character's ear is shown in the movie, the user may give an effect as if someone is whispering beside him by outputting the corresponding sound through the speaker 270 of the bodily clothes 100. There will be. In addition, when the documentary sailing the sea is screened, when the wave hits the ship can spray water to the user's face to the injection unit 250, the wind blowing unit 230 in the scene moving at high speed You can also create it. In a fire situation, the heating unit 210 may be driven to increase the temperature of the haptic garment 100. On the contrary, in the winter scene, the cooling unit 210 may be driven to lower the temperature of the haptic garment 100.

In this way, the virtual experience of the multimedia running on the external terminal can be achieved by physical effects, thereby maximizing the haptic effect.

As shown in FIG. 7C, the haptic unit 170 may be driven in accordance with music generated from the mobile terminal by linking the haptic garment 100 with a mobile terminal such as an MP3 or a mobile phone. In addition, although not shown, when a body shock such as a massage is required, the massage menu selection or the operation of the haptic unit 170 may be set and driven by itself.

As such, it is possible to maximize the usability of the haptic garment 100 through various environments and conditions. In particular, the combination of multimedia with life is expected to make a significant contribution to the growth of the electronic industry staying in the 3D market. In particular, the bodily sensational garment 100 is highly likely to be associated with fashion and trends due to the characteristics of the garment, so that a person is not satisfied with one garment, but can purchase a plurality of bodily bodily garments 100 according to trends and seasons. As the environment can be created sufficiently, a big vision is expected for business.
