In this study, an electronic baton system for visually impaired person. The system uses a haptic interface device as a visual alternative interface. In Japan, intermediate blind person due to diabetic retinopathy is expected to increase. Therefore, we propose promoting social participation of the visually impaired person by music support. This paper describe that we Experimented characteristic evaluation experiment of frequency discrimination to clarify the threshold that can discriminate between two frequencies in human tactile sense. As for the result, it was revealed that the frequency at which 75Hz, 100Hz, and 125Hz have a correct answer rate of 80% or more when 125 Hz is set as the reference vibration.
