The importance of tactilesforce presentation schemes as part of human–computer interfacing has been extensively discussed in recent years. In these schemes it is important that the presentation of force be smooth, which requires that the tactilesforce presentation have good high-frequency response. To address this need, in this research we took special care to ensure that our presentation equipment could respond rapidly at frequencies up to 1 kHz, with backdrivability of the force from the effector to the actuator stage. We first constructed a simple realization of our haptic display, and then converted it to a smaller-scale and lighter-weight version. The basis of the display presentation was tactile sensitivity in response to finger movements. To achieve this, our apparatus uses magnetic position sensors and angle sensors to detect the finger movements. Based on these finger movements, the apparatus makes changes in the tactile presentation information that correspond to the contact. In a typical presentation experiment for which a fast response was especially necessary, we studied the possibility of using the sensation of vibrations generated by contact to present the feel of various kinds of wood. In addition, we performed a surface roughness presentation experiment in which display operators traced a virtual wall and were made to distinguish five kinds of surface roughness. In this paper, we summarize our assessment of the characteristics and functioning of our apparatus. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
