Abstract
A simulated force sensation based on an external object is presented without making contact with that external object. Asymmetrical movement based on a first physical quantity or a function value of the first physical quantity is carried out, and a simulated force sensation based on the asymmetrical movement is presented, the first physical quantity having been obtained by measuring a distance from an external object to a simulated force sensation presenting apparatus.
Claims20
A simulated force sensation presenting apparatus that presents a simulated force sensation, the apparatus comprising:
- a force sensation presenter configured to:
- carry out asymmetrical movement based on a first physical quantity or a function value of the first physical quantity, and
- present a simulated force sensation based on the asymmetrical movement, the first physical quantity having been obtained by measuring a distance from an external object to the simulated force sensation presenting apparatus.
A method of presenting simulated force sensation, the method comprising:
- generating asymmetrical movement, by a first object, based on a first physical quantity or a function value of the first physical quantity, wherein the first physical quantity is associated with a measured distance between a first object and a second object;
- and
- presenting a simulated force sensation based on the asymmetrical movement.
A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing computer-executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause a computer system to:
- generate asymmetrical movement based on a first physical quantity or a function value of the first physical quantity, wherein the first physical quantity having been obtained by measuring a distance between a simulated force sensation presenter and an object that is external to the simulated force sensation presenter, and
- present, by the simulated force sensation presenter, a simulated force sensation based on the asymmetrical movement.
