Abstract: We propose a haptic presentation method that transmits haptic sensations generated by the fingertips in the VR, including the direction of the force, to the forearm. We developed a device that present both magnitude and direction of the force applied to the index finger using a five-bar linkage mechanism. In this study, we conducted a user study evaluating user grasping an object in the VR and performing task. The results verified the haptic sensation of the force transmitted by the proposed prototype to the users forearm provides a sufficient comfort level. Furthermore, the task execution time and comfort level were comparable to those of a vibrotactile presentation presented directly to the fingertips.
