  • Vibration generation system, storage medium having stored therein vibration generation program, and vibration generation method
    Patent number: 10062247
    Abstract: At least a first vibration output apparatus and a second vibration output apparatus used while physically separated from the first vibration output apparatus are included. The first vibration output apparatus includes a first vibration unit. The second vibration output apparatus includes a second vibration unit. It is possible to output a first vibration signal and a second vibration signal for, by changing a ratio of intensities of vibrating the first vibration unit and the second vibration unit, causing a user to perceive a single vibration source between the first vibration output apparatus and the second vibration output apparatus.
