Abstract
A manipulation apparatus includes a detection circuit and a manipulation control circuit to acquire a manipulation body distance from a manipulation surface to a finger of a manipulator. The manipulation in a first manipulation space having the manipulation body distance smaller than a first threshold distance is associated with movement of a pointer and distinguished from the manipulation in a second manipulation space having the manipulation body distance equal to or greater than the first threshold distance. A tactile pattern is formed to the manipulation surface, while a visual pattern is displayed around the point, the visual pattern having the shape corresponding to the tactile pattern. The combination of tactility and visuality teaches the manipulator the pointer being movable by contact manipulation onto the manipulation surface.
