Abstract
Many methods have been proposed for presenting tactile sensations from objects in the virtual reality environment. In particular, many wearable tactile displays for the fingers, such as fingertip- mounted haptics display and glove-type haptics displays, have been developed. We developed a device that presents the haptic sensation of the fingertip to the fingers and to the forearm rather than only to the fingertip as a new haptic presentation method for virtual reality environment. The device adopts a vibrator on the fingertip to present positional and collisional information, and a five-bar linkage mechanism on the arm to present the strength and direction of force. Compared with fingertip-mounted haptic displays, combination of the two devices enables small size at the fingertip, yet direction of force can be expressed. Our preliminary test revealed that it is easily to associate the haptics sensation provided from the device to the forearm with their own fingertip.
