Abstract
An apparatus for creating virtual joint sensation is provided. The apparatus includes: a controlling part for creating control signals for controlling respective user's joints by referring to information on torques to be applied to the respective user's joints, wherein the information on the torques is acquired by analyzing information on forces to be applied to the user's body contacting a virtual object; and a torque-applying part, including one or more torque-applying units worn on the respective user's joints, for giving the torques to the respective user's joints by using the control signals.
