A tactile supply device comprising:
- a tactile sensation provider made of magnetic particles and a matrix material;
- and
- a magnetic field generator for generating a magnetic field to transform the tactile sensation provider,
- wherein the tactile sensation provider maintains a first shape when not influenced by a magnetic field,
- wherein the tactile sensation provider maintains a second shape when influenced by a magnetic field, and
- wherein the tactile sensation provider returns from the second shape to the first shape and produces a reciprocating motion by elastic force, thereby transferring a tactile sensation.
