1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a touchscreen configured to display an object;
an output unit configured to output tactile feedback; and
a control unit configured to;
control the output unit to output the tactile feedback when the displayed object is selected and moved along a display area of the touchscreen via a contact touch input, andcontrol the output unit to adjust the tactile feedback according to a virtual friction of a plurality of virtual frictions between a virtual material of a plurality of virtual materials of the object and a virtual material of a plurality of virtual materials of a background of the display area,wherein a material for each of the plurality of virtual materials of the object and for each of the plurality of virtual materials of the background is selectable by a user,wherein the output unit is further configured to automatically adjust the virtual friction according to the selected materials,wherein the virtual material of the object and the virtual material of the background are displayed on the touchscreen, andwherein each of the plurality of virtual frictions provides a different magnitude of tactile feedback.
