Abstract
A tactile sensation providing system includes an electronic device and a tactile sensation providing apparatus, which includes a wearable part worn on fingers, vibrating elements disposed at portions corresponding to the fingers, sensors that detect touches of the fingers onto a manipulation input surface, and a second controlling part able to communicate with a first controlling part. Upon receiving from the second controlling part a signal representing that a touch of one finger is detected by one sensor, the first controlling part obtains, based on data representing the finger and on coordinates detected by a detector, a type of the finger touching the surface and the coordinates where the finger touches the surface, and generates a driving signal representing a tactile sensation corresponding to the data representing the finger, the coordinates, and a displayed image. The second controlling part drives one of the vibrating elements using the driving signal.
