The present invention provides a virtual reality environment generating apparatus including a non-base type interface configured to allow a user to haptically touch virtual objects and game characters. The virtual reality environment generating apparatus includes a content creating device 102 configured to create a content based on information from various sensors 108 to 111 and content data, an illusionary tactile force sense evoking device 103 configured to use illusionary tactile force sense data to generate an illusionary tactile force sense evoking function 1713 adapted for the content, an illusionary tactile force sense interface device 101 including a illusionary tactile force sense device 107, and an illusionary tactile force sense device driving control device 112 configured to drivingly control the illusionary tactile force sense device. The virtual reality environment generating apparatus utilizes an illusionary tactile force sense to control reaction based on the illusionary tactile force sense, in accordance with motion of the user's finger and body. The virtual reality environment generating apparatus thus expresses not only three-dimensional videos and sound images but also senses of friction and roughness corresponding to the presence, shape, and texture of a virtual object.
