Range of motion control in XR applications on information handling systems

More realistic experiences can be provided to a user through the use of a wearable suit. The xR wearable suit may include materials with adjustable characteristics, such as friction, and electronics for controlling the materials to provide feedback to the user wearing the xR suit. In an xR game, the materials may be used to translate virtual damage to physical constraints on the user. For example, when an avatar gets shot in the leg and is debilitated, the user's leg motion can be constricted to understand that shortcoming and stay in sync with the avatar. Examples of such feedback materials include inflating ribs, sheet jamming, and mechanical devices.
