Abstract
Disclosed is a tactile stimulation device including: a plurality of actuators; and a control unit controlling each of outputs of the plurality of actuators so as to create a tactile stimulus at a target position corresponding to a target site of a body of a user, in which the control unit creates the tactile stimulus by using first to third actuators corresponding to first to third vertexes of a triangle including the target position therein among the plurality of actuators.
Claims20
A tactile stimulation device comprising:
- a substrate;
- a plurality of actuators arranged on the substrate;
- and
- a control unit controlling each of outputs of the plurality of actuators so as to create a tactile stimulus at a target position corresponding to a target site of a body of a user;
- wherein the control unit creates the tactile stimulus by using first to third actuators corresponding to first to third vertexes of a triangle including the target position therein among the plurality of actuators,
- wherein the control unit sets the target position as a first location, calculates the first location in a first triangle having the first to third vertexes as a second location in a second triangle having fourth to sixth vertexes corresponding to the first to third vertexes, and controls the first to third actuators so as to create the tactile stimulus at the second location.
