Information perception apparatus, information transmission system, and memory medium in which program for controlling information perception apparatus is stored

Abstract

The invention provides a tactile information transmission system or an information perception apparatus that transmits information by means of various motions of a presenter in two directions, as well as a small driving force generation apparatus that drives a presenter suitably. Thin plate-like magnets are provided on a base, and generate magnetic fields perpendicularly. A perception unit is supported above the magnets movably in the horizontal direction. Plural coils are fixed on the perception unit, some coils are provided so as to cross in X direction and the residual coils are provided so as to cross in Y direction. By controlling supplied current or applied voltage, the perception unit is driven arbitrarily in an XY plane. A user places a finger on the perception unit, recognizes the motion of the perception unit, and obtains information. The motion signal for driving the perception unit can be supplied from another information processing apparatus, and the perception unit is moved in correlation with the image information displayed on a display.
