Abstract
We propose a new tactile display using electororheological fluids in this study. A Tactile sensation is important factor to allow a user handle an object well, and the display for the sensation has been studied until now. An ideal tactile display should presents some kinds of mechanical stimulus for whole of user's skin. It, however, is hard because of the mechanical limitation of the display. The goal of this study is to realize a tactile display that can generate a controllable micro vibrations on a user's finger tip, and should be enough small and light not to prevent user's motion. In the paper, we report the results of a numerical simulation to evaluate our design.
