Along with spread of low-cost HMD and high-quality VR experience, many proposals have been made to improve the VR experience by providing tactile information to the fingertips. However, attaching and detaching a device is difficult and the movement of the finger are limited. In order to solve these problems, we have proposed Haptopus that incorporates a suction tactile presentation mechanism in the HMD. Haptopus can transfer the fingertip tactile information to around the eyes without impairing the quality of the experience and improving the wearability. In this paper, we investigated that the hardness of VR object could be presented by the adjustment of dynamic air suction pressure in order to increase the types of haptic information.
