Abstract: An apparatus and method for implementing dynamic tactile feedback of a flexible object are disclosed. The apparatus enables recognition of a continuous change in stiffness of an object due to a dynamic response of the flexible object. The method enables recognition of such changes through control of the device.
The method enables a user to continuously control the stiffness of a device used as a tool for haptic feedback. This further enables various virtual world sensations associated with virtual reality or augmented reality content to be expressed in direct relation to the length, shape, material, etc. of virtual objects, and also enables various virtual world sensations to be realized through such devices.
