Abstract
A system for simulation of a contact with a surface by tactile stimulation including a surface that will come into contact with the digital pulp of a user's finger. The system includes means of displacing the surface along first and second directions (X, Y) orthogonal to each other and approximately tangent to the digital pulp of the finger. The displacement means are controlled as a function of the simulation to be generated, in which the displacement means are electromagnetic actuators.
