Abstract
Personal computers have much information of characters or figure. Therefore, it is difficult for visually impaired persons or elderly people to use PC relying on visual sensation. In response to this problem, various human interface were developed to support PC operation. However, these are not widely used yet. In this study, we aim to develop a force display touchpad for supporting PC use. This device presents information on the screen using the force. The 1st report described its basic concept and prototype. In this report, we have added a function on this device, which is similar to the ordinary tap function of touchpad.
