WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/061173
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a haptic reproduction device that can apply to fingers reaction force that simulates grasping and operating a virtual held-object with the fingers. [Solution] The present invention has an input device 20. The input device 20 is configured such that a first facing operation body 33A, a second facing operation body 33B, and a thumb operation body 43 protrude from a case 21. When the thumb operation body 43 is held with the thumb and the facing operation bodies 33A, 33B are held with the forefinger and the middle finger, respectively, actions can be performed as if a held-object were being grasped. Control signals are provided from a control unit to a motor that is inside the case 21, and reaction force is applied to the fingers from the facing operation bodies 33A, 33B and the thumb operation body 43. When one facing operation body retracts, the other facing operation body follows the one facing operation body and retracts.
