A virtual tactile device is provided, which includes a display terminal and a wearable device that receives information about a position, a shape, and a physical property of an object displayed on the display screen, and the user's finger position. In one example, the wearable device includes a micro-displacement stimulation element that is in close contact with the user's finger skin. When the finger wearing the wearable device contacts an object displayed on the display screen or moves on the screen of the display terminal, the micro-displacement stimulation element applies a micro-displacement stimulus to the finger skin, selectively triggering action potentials of multiple tactile receptors in the skin. In coordination with the display terminal's screen, the system can provide tactile feedback, including protruding pressure sensations, curvature, and friction textures.
