In embodiments, the spacing member 1606 is made of a layer of rigid rubber having a predetermined thickness (e.g., about one quarter inch) and a durometer of less than 50. The durometer value of the spacing member 1606 is selected to enable the spacing member 1606 to support the cutaneous actuators 1602 in place within the housing 1632 and make the spacing member 1606 generally resistant to indentation.
The haptic communication device 1630 has similar Z-stack spacing and vibration dampening features to the haptic communication device 1600 shown above in
