Abstract
We aim at development of tactile interfaces which can be attached to mobile terminal devices. We focus on two points in this paper. Firstly, a touch motion is very important to acquire tactile information of an object. However, it is difficult to secure space for touch motion on the mobile device. We propose a hypothesis that touch motion is not always necessary on condition that tactile stimulation which accompanies the movement of the cursor is effectively presented. We verify the possibility of conveying texture information without real touch motions. Secondly, when a object which is bigger than the screen is displayed, the object must be resized. A guidance of generating tactile stimulation not to lose texture information is important. We propose a guidance of generating tactile stimulation in the case of resized objects and verify its effectiveness.
