  • OPERATION APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20120256874
    Abstract: A controller acquires an inclination angle, with respect to a vertical direction, of a panel that a user presses for a user operation. The controller corrects a detection value detected by a pressure sensor based on the acquired inclination angle. Then the controller detects a position that the user presses on the panel and a pressure with which the user presses on the panel, based on the detection value, detected by the pressure sensor, which has been corrected.
