In this study, we describe a haptic feedback system using wireless vibration units commercially available, together with a tool for automatic generation of control software for these devices based on the concept of tactons. The amplitude modulation is controlled by changing the drive time of the motor in the device. We use the Reconfigurable Vibrotactile Device Creation Toolkit (ReViCT), which enables intuitive vibration design, and confirm its performance in amplitude modulation. In order to verify the usefulness of the ReViCT and the wireless vibration devices, the same vibration stimuli is generated by subjects using the programming and the wired motor and those using the ReViCT and the devices, and we compare and evaluate the time required and ease of use.
