Force sense presentation device, mixed reality system, information processing method, and information processing apparatus
First Claim
1. A force sense presentation device for presenting a sense of force in virtual space to a user, comprising:
- a fixed unit which is gripped by the user;
a force sense presentation unit which presents a sense of force;
an actuator which supplies a driving force and operates said force sense presentation unit relative to said fixed unit;
a joint unit which is provided between said fixed unit and said force sense presentation unit, and guides the relative operation of said force sense presentation unit; and
a force sense rendering unit which controls the relative operation of said force sense presentation unit by said actuator,wherein the force sense presentation device simulates a device which is gripped and used by the user, andsaid force sense rendering unit controls the relative operation of said force sense presentation unit based on a position and orientation of the device in the virtual space.

15. A mixed reality system including a force sense presentation device for presenting a sense of force in virtual space to a user, an information processing apparatus, and a display, wherein
said force sense presentation device comprises: -
a fixed unit which is gripped by the user; a force sense presentation unit which presents a sense of force; an actuator which supplies a driving force and operates said force sense presentation unit relative to said fixed unit; and a joint unit which is provided between said fixed unit and said force sense presentation unit and guides the relative operation of said force sense presentation unit, the system comprising; a force sense rendering unit which controls the relative operation of said force sense presentation unit by said actuator; a measuring unit which measures a relative position and orientation in the virtual space between the device and a virtual object in the virtual space; and an image output unit which outputs, to said display, an image representing positions and orientations of the virtual object and the device in the virtual space based on the position and orientation measured by said measuring unit, wherein said force sense presentation device simulates a device which is gripped and used by the user, and said force sense rendering unit controls the relative operation of said force sense presentation unit based on the position and orientation measured by said measuring unit. - View Dependent Claims (16)
