Abstract
In this paper we demonstrate an idea of multi–point tactile stimulation for representing force illusions on hand-held objects using vacuum pressure stimuli. The device used for the demonstration is pen-based and it is held by the fingers and thumb in a precision grip. There are two types of these devices; a three degree of freedom and a five degree of freedom tactile interfaces. These degrees of freedom are essentially illusions observed from the tactile stimuli. The initial prototype is capable of displaying force-like sensations in the three basic coordinate axes and moment-like sensations along two axes.
