  • Patent number: 10838497
    Abstract: In a haptic information presenting system, a haptic presenting device presents a stimulus by an object and/or to the object, controls the stimulus that is applied to the object in accordance with an operation by an operator, and thereby generates a tactile force, the haptic presenting device presents at least one of oscillation, displacement, and deformation to the object, the haptic presenting device is a sense synthesizing and guiding device that synthesizes sensations of guidance, and the sense synthesizing and guiding device generates at least one of a sensation of pressure, a sensation of a force, and the sensory illusion to the object by a vibration that includes a sweep vibration.

  • Patent number: 10216278
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed in which in a conventional non-grounding man-machine interface having no reaction base on the human body and for giving the existence of a virtual object and the impact force of a collision to a person, a haptic sensation of a torque, a force and the like can be continuously presented in the same direction, which cannot be presented by only the physical characteristic of a haptic sensation presentation device. In a haptic presentation device, the rotation velocity of at least one rotator in the haptic presentation device is controlled by a control device, and a vibration, a force or a torque as the physical characteristic is controlled, so that the user is made to conceive various haptic information of the vibration, force, torque or the like.
