Abstract
A tactile feedback apparatus includes a pressable portion on which a pressing action is performed by a pressing portion, a detection unit that detects an external force acting on the pressable portion or detects a position of the pressing portion with respect to the pressable portion, a vibration actuator that applies vibration to the pressing portion, a storage unit that stores waveform information for driving the vibration actuator so as to provide the pressing portion with a specific tactile sensation, and a control unit that causes the vibration actuator to vibrate based on the waveform information at a specific point in time in the pressing action. The specific point in time is based on the external force or the position detected by the detection unit.
