SENSATION PRESENTATION DEVICE AND SENSATION PRESENTATION METHOD

To provide a sensation presentation device and a sensation presentation method which present a sensation of tilting to a user.SOLUTION: A sensation presentation device 1 for presenting such a sensation that a reference surface that is brought into contact with a user is tilted to the user, comprises: a sensation stimulus information generation unit 2 which generates sensation stimulus information for giving the user with a sensation stimulus that is spatially or temporally modulated between a first point at which a displacement amount in the direction to a target surface where the user is wanted to feel that the reference surface is tilted from the reference surface in a case where the direction where the reference surface is brought into contact with the user is the positive direction becomes maximum on the reference surface and the second point at which the displacement amount becomes minimum; and a sensation stimulation unit 3 which presents the sensation stimulus according to the sensation stimulus information generated by the sensation stimulus information generation unit 2 between the first point and the second point.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】ユーザに傾きの感覚を呈示する感覚呈示装置及び感覚呈示方法を提供する。【解決手段】ユーザと接触する基準面が傾いている感覚を上記ユーザへ呈示する感覚呈示装置１であって、上記基準面において、上記ユーザが接触している方向を正の方向としたときの上記基準面から上記基準面が傾いているように感じさせたい目標面への上記方向の変位量が最大となる第一の点と、上記変位量が最小となる第二の点の間において、空間的若しくは時間的に変調させた触覚刺激を上記ユーザへ与えるための触覚刺激情報を生成する触覚刺激情報生成部２と、上記第一の点と上記第二の点の間において、上記触覚刺激情報生成部２により生成された上記触覚刺激情報に応じて触覚刺激を呈示する触覚刺激部３を備えた感覚呈示装置１を提供する。【選択図】図１
