Abstract(in English) In this research, we are aiming at developing a portable haptic device that presents the feeling of hardness to bare fingers. In this paper, the hardness perception of human fingers is investigated. Experiments show the required specifications of haptic devices for hardness rendering. Moreover, we made a prototype of the portable haptic device. It can display not only soft objects but also hard objects. To evaluate the developed haptic device, we conducted experiments. Our device can display the hardness and size of virtual objects to people.
