Abstract

This information processing system includes: a controller including an operation element, a restriction member, a resistance section using a magnetorheological fluid whose viscosity changes with an applied-magnetic-field intensity and which serves as a resistance corresponding to the viscosity when the position of the operation element is displaced, and a magnetic field generation section to provide the magnetic field; and a circuit capable of controlling the magnetic field generation section. In a first state, a movable area of a position of the operation element is restricted to a basic movable area. In a second state, the magnetic field generation section is controlled so that the viscosity becomes a first viscosity, when the operation element is in a first area, and so that the viscosity becomes a second viscosity when the operation element is in a second area.
