Haptic Information Presentation System

Abstract

A tactile force information presenting system includes: a tactile force presenting device that generates the stimulus; a drive device that drives the tactile force presenting device; and a tactile force non-presenting device that does not generate said stimulus to an operator, and the tactile force presenting device presents the tactile force to the operator.

1 . A vibration stimulus presentation device comprising a vibration body, wherein
 the vibration stimulus presentation device applies a sensory characteristic and/or a sensory illusion of an operator to the vibration body to present a vibration stimulus to the operator, and thereby to cause an illusion effect and/or a nonlinear effect,   the sensory characteristic and/or the sensory illusion comprise: at least one of a quantity of stimulus that is provided to the operator and a quantity of stimulus that is generated through an operation by the operator; and a sensory quantity that is presented to the operator   the sensory quantity is a sensory quantity that cannot exist physically.   
     
     
         2 . The vibration stimulus presentation device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a stimulus presenting section configured to present utilizing that the sensory characteristic representing a relationship between the quantity of stimulus applied to a human body and the sensory quantity is nonlinear and/or the sensory illusion. 
     
     
         3 . The vibration stimulus presentation device according to  claim 1 , wherein the vibration body is disposed in a manner to vibrate independently from the stimulus presenting section. 
     
     
         4 . The vibration stimulus presentation device according to  claim 1 , wherein the vibration body is in friction contact with an inner surface of the stimulus presenting section. 
     
     
         5 . The vibration stimulus presentation device according to  claim 1 , wherein the vibration body is disposed in a freely movable manner in the stimulus presenting section.
