Several attempts to extend the phantom sensation to localize the vibration source outside the body have been reported. However, it is difficult to localize a vibration source with an arbitrary waveform. In this study, we focus on the vibration intensity perceived by humans. We propose a method to geometrically distribute the intensity to multiple vibrators and localize the vibration direction as a single point. This paper attempts to represent vibrations propagating from a remote location to the feet. The calculated intensity of the vibration source was distributed to four vibrators on both feet according to the orientation. The experimental results showed that the proposed method could present the approximate direction while maintaining the intensity of the stimulus.
