Abstract
An interface apparatus for providing a user with a hang gliding experience in a virtual space includes: a control bar which the user is to grip; a tilt mechanism which supports the control bar from above such that the control bar is tiltable; a force sensor that is provided to the tilt mechanism and that detects a force and a moment which are applied from the user to the control bar; and an input and output section that provides a signal indicative of the force and the moment to a simulation apparatus configured to generate the virtual space and that acquires, from the simulation apparatus, a control signal for controlling the tilt mechanism so as to tilt the control bar.
