Interface apparatus and board sport experience system

An interface apparatus comprising:

• a board on which a user is to board;
• a tilt mechanism which supports the board from below such that the board is tiltable;
• a force sensor that is provided to the board or the tilt mechanism and that detects a force and a moment which are applied from the user to the board;
• and
• an input and output section that provides a signal indicative of the force and the moment to a simulation apparatus configured to generate a virtual space and that acquires, from the simulation apparatus, a control signal for controlling the tilt mechanism so as to tilt the board,
• the tilt mechanism being a parallel link mechanism including a base fixed to a floor surface and a plurality of movable links disposed so as to surround a center part of the base and having respective lower end portions coupled to the base and respective upper end portions coupled to the board,
• the respective upper end portions and the respective lower end portions of the plurality of movable links included in the parallel link mechanism serving as movable joints,
• the plurality of movable links being disposed to be tilted so that a pair of movable links located adjacent come closer to each other in an upward direction or come closer to each other in a downward direction,
• the plurality of movable joints enabling the board to be tilted by expanding and contracting.
