Why is it that the very first thing I thought of was https://github.com/qdot/deldo
Backing it off from teledildonics (which I could write you a novel about and definitely have opinions on but we'll just wait until someone posts https://buttplug.io to the front page again before I write pages of comments on that heh), I'm working on a system similar to this for "affective haptics" in social VR.
I've built a simple system (currently ERM, I wanna try LRA but haven't had time to work everything out yet) for head/ear haptics, basically so people can feel head/ear pets in VR. It's a super common intimate gesture is places like VRChat.
There's a small demo video here:

I was planning on building pretty much exactly what this system is, and I'm pretty happy someone else has done it because so far I've not had time to even start board layout yet. Sourcing parts for this may still be an issue, because haptic drivers are definitely a victim of the supply chain crunch lately.
Anyways, having a simple way to build and control haptic signals will allow people to experiment, which is really what we need. Touch and social contexts are inextricably linked, but figuring out which contexts would make for good products is an on-going problem, and has left a wasteland of failed crowdfunding campaigns.
But, all that said, yes this would also be perfect for teledildonics research and I'll probably use it for that too.
