Information processing apparatus and computer-readable storage medium
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- connection means for proving connection to a haptic sense presentation device;
virtual mass determination means for calculating an area of an image object based on a feature of the image object and determining the calculated area of the image object as a virtual mass of the image object;
acceleration calculation means for calculating an acceleration of the image object based on current and previous features of the image object;
presentation force calculation means for calculating a force to be presented to the haptic sense presentation device connected to said connection means based on the virtual mass determined by said virtual mass determination means and the acceleration calculated by said acceleration calculation means; and
output means for outputting a signal indicative of the force calculated by said presentation force calculation means to the haptic sense presentation device.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a control portion and an IF portion. Haptic sense presentation devices are connected to the IF portion. The control portion calculates an area of an image object based on features of the image object and determines the calculated area of the image object as a virtual mass of the image object. The control portion calculates an acceleration of the image object based on the current and previous features of the image object. The control portion calculates a force to be presented to the haptic sense presentation device connected to IF portion based on the virtual mass and the acceleration of the image object and outputs a signal indicative of the calculated force to the haptic sense presentation device.
