FORCE SENSE PRESENTATION DEVICE, DATA INPUT DEVICE AND DATA INPUT APPARATUS

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide a device which is capable of inputting the bending angle of fingers which are not fitted and operates a remote place and a virtual object. CONSTITUTION:A body part 30 which can be recognized by a palm is provided, a pressure sensor is mounted on each part on which the bellies of fingers corresponding to the space of each joint of each finger including a tip are abutted, the bending angle of each joint of a virtual finger 40 for operating the fingers at a remote place or a virtual object 41 is controlled based on the detection result of the pressure sensor. By mechanically and asymmetrically vibrating the part on which the pressure sensor is mounted and the whole of the casing part, a reaction force sense is presented. By providing an auxiliary input means, the positional information on a device is inputted. By a mechanism adjusting the size of the casing, the influence by the size of the palm is evaded. By deducting comparatively small force from the detected force, only intension information that fingers are to be bent is extracted from the detection result in which the force information required for clamping a device is incorporated.
