Abstract

A tactile feedback apparatus, system, and a method of operating the tactile feedback apparatus may detect a finger of a user touching a disk unit, determine a height at which the disk unit is supported, based on a signal generated by a sensor, and support a lower portion of the disk unit by controlling N driving units to be set at the determined height, thereby providing power sensed by the sensor to the finger of the user touching the disk unit.
