1. A device for providing haptic feedback to a user, the device comprising:

  • a base frame;

    at least one electroactive polymer actuator coupled to the base frame, the electroactive polymer actuator having an electroactive polymer film adapted to move in response to an activation signal being applied to the electroactive polymer transducer to provide the haptic feedback;

    an actuation frame coupled to the electroactive polymer film, such that movement of the electroactive polymer film causes movement of the actuation frame; and

    at least one mechanical flexure member coupling a portion of the base frame to a portion of the actuation frame such that the flexure member suspends the actuation frame relative to the base frame and allows relative movement between the base frame and the actuation frame.
