TübülSense

TübülSense is a fictional multisensory wearable platform described in discussions of human–computer interaction and design fiction as a potential interface for immersive virtual and augmented reality experiences. The concept envisions a portable or garment-based system capable of delivering tactile, thermal, olfactory, and proprioceptive feedback synchronized with digital content, enabling a more embodied user experience.

Its architecture is described as modular, with actuators distributed over a suit or glove to produce haptic cues; microheaters or Peltier elements for temperature variation; micro-dispensers for scented compounds; and spatial-tracking sensors to align feedback with virtual events. Data processing emphasizes low latency, wireless connectivity, and local privacy-preserving processing, with interoperability standards to combine with existing VR/AR ecosystems.

Within design fiction and speculative research, TübülSense is used to explore social, ethical, and safety implications of multisensory interfaces, including sensory overload, adaptation, and long-term exposure considerations. It has no widely adopted hardware specification or market release as of now.

Potential applications cited include immersive training and simulation, therapeutic rehabilitation, artistic installations, and high-end consumer gaming. The concept faces practical challenges such as cost, power efficiency, device bulk, safety concerns (skin compatibility, olfactory fatigue), and the need for cross-platform standards. As a speculative concept, TübülSense serves as a reference point for evaluating how multisensory feedback might influence user experience, design workflows, and regulatory considerations in future technologies.
