Abstract
In this paper we investigate several characteristics of one kind of tactile illusion, called Velvet Hand Illusion (VHI), that operates to tactile display for generating a relation between operator's fingertip motion and tactile display pad in virtual reality field. In continue, we investigate VHI mechanism base on these characteristics and express mechanoreceptive units are active because of VHI using stable and moving frames equipped two wires. Experimental results show that the strongest intensity of VHI is occurred when the wire spacing almost equals to the movement stroke and that VHI is presented through by SA I and SA II.
