A tactile presentation device includes a movable part, a base, a guider, and one or more actuators. The movable part includes a first main surface and presents tactile to a user by being displaced in a predetermined one axial direction parallel to the first main surface. The base supports the movable part in a displaceable manner. The guider connects the base and the movable part, and regulates a displacement direction of the movable part in the one axial direction by sliding in the one axial direction. The actuator displaces the movable part in the one axial direction from one end side of the movable part in the one axial direction. When the number of actuators is one, the actuator is located on a symmetry axis of the movable part parallel to the one axial direction.

Tactile presentation device

An electronic device having a display screen that displays a user interface including at least one object, comprising: a display mechanism that displays the user interface; a coordinate detection mechanism that detects coordinates of a user touch point on the display screen; a first feedback presentation mechanism that presents tactile feedback at a prescribed point to make the user perceive the presence of an object; a measurement mechanism that measures a force generated by the user pressing the display screen; and a second feedback presentation mechanism that detects an operation trigger based on the force and generates mechanical vibration.

Electronic device with force sensor and haptic feedback in direction perpendicular to a direction of press

A tactile presentation device includes a touch surface fixed in orientation, an actuator configured to vibrate the touch surface along one axis within the plane of the touch surface, and a controller configured to control vibration of the actuator along the one axis to present tactile stimulus to a finger in contact with the touch surface. The controller is configured to control the actuator in such a manner that direction to start vibration for presenting tactile stimulus to the finger is within a range from minus 43&#xb0; to plus 43&#xb0; with respect to a direction of gravity projected on the touch surface or the opposite direction thereof.
