Abstract
An input device includes: an operation input panel having a front surface and a back surface, wherein the operation input panel, in operation, receives external forces on the front surface and the back surface as operation inputs and is elastically displaced by the external forces; a sensor which, in operation, detects displacements of the operation surface caused by the external forces; and a signal transmission circuit which, in operation, transmits signals corresponding to the displacements detected by the sensor. The operation inputs received by the input device may cause visual, three-dimensional deformations to object images displayed on a display screen.
