The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for converting video information into a tactile sensitive signal. According to one aspect of the present invention, provided is an apparatus for converting a video signal into a tactile sensitive signal that includes: a video camera unit having left and right cameras, and which acquires left and right stereo video information for objects disposed in front of the video camera unit; a video processing unit for processing the video information acquired from the video camera unit to extract video information for a specific object excluding background video within a specific distance; a video reading unit for reading the region of grid cells corresponding to the distance information to the specific object and the video information of the specific object extracted by the video processing unit; an actuator control unit for generating current values of grid cells of the region read by the video reading unit and current values according to the distance information to the specific object, and for controlling an actuator; and an actuator having a plurality of driving pins arranged into a grid structure, and which actuates the driving pins corresponding to the grid cells in accordance with the current values generated by the actuator control unit to have a difference in stroke displacement, such that a tactile sensitive signal can be sensed by a specific body part of a wearer. |
