Abstract
A vehicle includes an input apparatus configured to sense pressure through a pressure sensing area and a vibration generator configured to include a first layer and a second layer, in which a plurality of actuators for generating vibration is arranged. The first and second layers are stacked at positions corresponding to pressure sensing positions of a pressure sensing area. The apparatus includes a controller configured to control the vibration generator to generate a first vibration at a position corresponding to a sensing position of the pressure on the pressure sensing area through the first layer, and to generate a second vibration at a position corresponding to a direction of the sensed pressure on the pressure sensing area through the second layer. A method of controlling the vehicle utilizes the input apparatus.
