Humans can perceive external forces applied on a grasping tool based on skin pressure distribution at multiple contact areas during grasp. We have developed the TAKO-Pen, a pen-type pseudo-haptic interface using suction pressure stimulation on each skin. We confirmed that an appropriate quadrant values could represent the magnitudes of forces in multiple directions. Experimental results also showed that the proposed method could represent arbitrary directions between a pair of the orthogonal axes. This study also experimentally investigates the perceptual mechanism of the force applied to a grasping tool based on the hypothesis that perceptual force is mediated by the combination of cutaneous and kinesthetic sensation. The results support the hypothesis that the combination of cutaneous and kinesthetic sensation is used for the perception of force.
