Abstract
Touch panels are spreading as a good candidate of intuitive man-machine interfaces. On the other hand, various consumer electronics with various functions are spreading, too. This paper deals with a tactile interface for versatile and intuitive input. "Haptic Desk" is a desk-type tactile interface that force sensors are attached to the legs of the desk. However, if the desk is vibrated, the error of the calculated external force and contact point occurs. Because the inertial force of the desk is not considered, the error occurs. For reduction of the error, this paper expands the method of Haptic Desk by using an acceleration sensor. The usefulness of the proposed method is shown by experiments.
