Abstract
In order to interact with virtual objects, presenting tactile stimulation as if a user touched them is very important. Most previous works employ tactile devices such as vibration actuators. However, the system can present tactile stimulation only where the tactile devices are attached. Thus, it has been difficult to present tactile stimulation where the devices are not attached. In this paper, we propose a method to change the location of vibrotactile perception by visual stimulation for extending the area where we can present tactile stimulation. We conducted experiments to investigate influence of visual stimulation on vibrotactile perception, and observed that subjects felt the location of vibrotactile perception shifted to that of the presented virtual object when they were on different locations.
