Abstract
One embodiment relates to a haptic stylus includes: a stylus housing; a stylus tip attached to one end of the stylus housing, so as to be in contact with an interaction surface, such as a touchscreen; a stylus covering attached to a circumference of the stylus housing, so as to be movable with respect to the stylus housing along a longitudinal direction of the haptic stylus and so as to be gripped/held by user's fingers; and a first actuator configured to activate the stylus housing to thereby cause a stick-slip phenomenon between the stylus covering and the user's fingers gripping/holding the stylus covering thereby allowing the user's fingers to grip/hold the stylus covering while moving along the longitudinal direction of the haptic stylus.
