Abstract:
1. An apparatus interacting with an external device by using a pedal module, comprising: a pedal module including a left foot pedal on which the left foot of a user is placed and a right foot pedal on which the right foot of the user is placed; a parallel position-measuring sensor for sensing a degree of a parallel motion if the user manipulates the left and the right foot pedals to move the pedal module in the parallel motion; a rotary position-measuring sensor for sensing a degree of a rotary motion if the user manipulates the left and the right foot pedals to move the pedal module in the rotary motion; and a control part for ordering the external device to be driven by referring to at least either of the degree of the parallel motion sensed by the parallel position-measuring sensor or that of the rotary motion sensed by the rotary position-measuring sensor or for receiving a control signal from the external device and driving a motor group including at least one motor to apply force feedback to either of the left and the right foot pedals by referring to the control signal.
