The transparent haptic overlay device includes a transparent overlay for transmitting the force of the user to a display, an actuator for generating forces corresponding to haptic effects and imparting these forces to the user's finger and a controller for simulating the haptic effects. The display may be a touch sensitive display, which has a functionality of sensing the position of the user. Through the overlay, the user receives the haptic effects in response to the motion relative to the image of the objects on the display.
