Abstract
A position indicating device includes a housing in which an electronic pen including a pen tip is mountable, a force sense generator configured to generate a force sense, and a processor configured to control the force sense generator to generate the force sense when, with the electronic pen mounted in the housing, a distance between a position of the pen tip of the electronic pen in a virtual reality space and an object in the virtual reality space is equal to or less than a predetermined value.
Claims15
A position indicating device comprising:
- a force generator configured to generate a force;
- and
- a processor configured to control the force generator to (1) generate the force in response to receiving, from a computer controlling a virtual pen in a virtual reality space, a control signal while the virtual pen in the virtual reality space is in a predetermined state and (2) stop generation of the force in response to operation of an operation part provided in the position indicating device by a user of the position indicating device.
A spatial position indicating system comprising:
- a computer including a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computer to:
- acquire a position of a virtual pen in a virtual reality space,
- determine that the virtual pen in the virtual reality space is in a predetermined state, and
- transmit a control signal that controls a force generator to generate a force, to a position indicating device in a real space including the force generator, in response to determining that the virtual pen in the virtual reality space is in a predetermined state, and
- wherein the control signal causes the position indicating device to generate the force until the position indicating device stops generation of the force in response to operation of an operation part provided in the position indicating device by a user of the position indicating device.
