    Abstract: An input device includes: a touch sensor that detects a touch position touched by an operating body on an operation screen; a vibrator that is activated in an ultrasonic band to provide haptic feedback on the operation screen; and a controller that is electrically connected to the touch sensor and the vibrator. The controller receives an input made to the touch sensor through a gesture in a predetermined direction from an initial position, activates the vibrator when the touch sensor receives a shorter-in-length gesture in the predetermined direction from the initial position, and deactivates the vibrator when the touch sensor receives a longer-in-length gesture in the predetermined direction from the initial position.
