In recent years, many researchers have been investigating the addition of other modalities such as haptics to the visual and auditory based VR experience using HMDs. On the other hand, these haptic devices are cumbersome to wear and their fingers cannot be moved freely. We solved these problems by embedding a suction tactile presentation device in an HMD and presenting the finger sensation in a VR environment to the face. In this paper, we investigate how changes in the suction hole and suction pressure affect the tactile sensation. As a result, we found that a dense arrangement of 2 mm suction holes can provide strong tactile sensation even with weak suction pressure, and that pressure sensitivity is also easily presented.
