Abstract
A locus detection unit detects a locus traced by an input unit that is attached to a body. A pattern determination unit determines an input pattern based on the locus detected by the locus detection unit. A transmission unit transmits the input pattern determined by the pattern determination unit as input information to an external device. A reception unit receives output information transmitted from the external device. A tactile output unit provides, to the body, the output information received by the reception unit as a simulated tactile sense of the skin being traced.
