TACTILE FORCE SENSE INFORMATION DISPLAY SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A system and method for continuously displaying, in the same direction, tactile force sense such as a torque and a force that cannot be displayed only by using the physical characteristics of a tactile force sense display machine in the field of conventional man-machine interfaces of non-grounded type adapted to allow a person to perceive a virtual object or giving an impact of collision with the virtual object to the person and provided with no base in the body. A tactile force sense display machine (112) comprises a controller (111) that controls the rotational speeds of one or more rotators of the tactile force sense display machine (112) to control the physical characteristics such as the vibration, the force, and the torque. Thus, the user (110) can perceive tactile force information including the vibration, the force, and the torque. This tactile force sense information displaying system allows a person to sense a force that cannot physically exist or a tactile force sense physical characteristic by using the sense characteristics of human being or an illusion and by appropriately controlling a physical quantity.
