We have been investigating a method of tactile presentation using electrical muscle stimulation. In the process, we found that the subjective force magnitude the user felt differs between physical force and virtual force generated by electrical muscle stimulation. If the subjective feeling is different, it may induce misunderstanding against the displayed contents. This difference is a problem for the haptic presentation by electrical muscle stimulation. Therefore, we measured the point of subjective equality between the physical force and the virtual force generated by electrical muscle stimulation using the method of constant stimuli. In this paper, we will discuss the results in detail.
