Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/119190
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem]
To provide a tactile sensation reproduction device capable of supplying to the fingers a reaction force and a tactile sensation simulating the operation of grasping a virtual object being contacted with the fingers.
[Solution]
A first opposing operating body 33A, a second opposing operating body 33B, and a thumb operating body 43 protrude from a case 21 of an input device 20. By holding the thumb operating body 43 with the thumb and holding the opposing operating bodies 33A and 33B respectively with the index finger and the middle finger, an operation identical to the operation of grasping an object being contacted is performed. A control signal is supplied from a control unit to a motor inside the case 21, and reaction force is supplied to the fingers from the opposing operating bodies 33A and 33B and the thumb operating body 43. Furthermore, the operating bodies 33A, 33B, and 43 are provided respectively with second detection units 54A, 54B, and 59, which are capable of detecting sliding of the finger on the surface of the operating body.
