Abstract: The purpose is to provide a tactile information conversion device, a tactile information conversion method, and a tactile information conversion program, which are usable for general purposes by presenting or sensing an arbitrary tactile feeling. In order to provide tactile information to an output unit capable of outputting physical quantities including electricity, force, temperature, vibration, and/or time and space, at least two or more of the physical quantities are selected according to a tactile feeling to be presented, tactile information for presenting the predetermined tactile feeling is generated based on the physical quantities that have been selected, and the tactile information that has been generated is output to the output unit.

Abstract: An orthosis 1 includes: an outer layer 2 which maintains a substantially elliptic shape; and a buffer 3 provided on the inner periphery of the outer layer 2, and buffers predetermined sites on the head. When the orthosis 1 is worn deviating from a state where the minor axis of the substantially elliptic shape corresponds to the width of the head, pressers 24a, 24b are formed which press the predetermined sites on the head with a stronger force than a force before deviation. The outer layer 2 includes adjustment portions 23a and 23b which can be close or apart in the minor axis direction of the substantially elliptic shape. The orthosis 1 further includes an adjuster 4 which adjusts the adjustment portions 23a, 23b so that the length of the minor axis of the substantially elliptic shape can correspond to the width of the head.
