Abstract
A stereoscopic force display system is developed for the cutting of stereoscopic 3-D image according to stereoscopic view by binocular parallax. An edged-tool with 3 degrees of freedom is developed for the realization of reactive force feeling on the cutting into stereoscopically displayed image. A cutting-off shape is given as a trajectory of an edged-tool with its indicator synthesized as a stereoscopic image. The reactive force is given to the tool, by which fingers obtain feeling of cutting according to the characteristics of a given material. The stereoscopic image after cutting is obtained making clear a trace of edge point of an edged-tool with rest domains characterized by different colors. An image of a sphere is used as a virtual object whose cutting gives reactive force feeling according to its given characteristics.
