Abstract

A pulse modulated driving voltage of surface acoustic wave (SAW) excites alternative shear force on the surface of SAW substrate. The force can be perceived as tactile sensation at mechanoreceptors in the finger skin. A SAW tactile display module was installed on a computer mouse button. Reproduction of human tactile sensation was demonstrated using equipments and the mouse.
