To reproduce realistic tactile sensations on a tactile display, it is important to elucidate the relationship between skin deformation and tactile sensations. For this purpose, we previously proposed a device to measure 3-dimensional skin deformation but it was not evaluated using actual skin. In this study, we improved the device to address the issues in measurements using real skin. Then we conducted an experiment involving actual skin deformation measurement. The overall shape of the result agreed with our expectations but it had large errors and noise. Therefore, skin deformation measurement using this device is possible but it is necessary to reduce errors and noise to use this device for actual measurement.
