We present a novel method for providing a tactile sensations using a tactile illusion in the toe pad during gait. Our method extends an illusion previously described in the finger pad, in which tactile sensations were induced when a vibration was presented to the fingernail while the finger pad was in contact with a surface. In Preliminary test, we qualitatively confirmed that the illusion could be induced in the toe pad with a certain level of intensity of vibration and toe force applied to the surface. In Experiment, we quantitatively measured the minimum force for inducing the illusion with constant vibration intensity using a psychophysical approach. The results revealed that an average force of 326 gf was required to induce the illusion. In addition, informal testing suggested that force was negatively correlated with the temperature of the toe pad.
