ABSTRACT:
There is provided an input device capable of detecting a motion of a hand of a user (102) and suitable to perform input of digital data with. The input device (100) can be gripped by a hand of the user (102) and serves to input information to a given apparatus. The input device (100) includes: manipulation portions (112ato112e) which can be bent by manipulation of the user (102); bend sensors (114ato114e) for detecting bend amounts of the manipulation portions (112ato112e); vibrators (120) for generating vibrations to be transmitted to the user (102); and a processor (118). The processor (118) generates vibration in the vibrator according to the information on the bend amounts of the manipulation portions (112ato112e) detected by the bend sensors (114ato114e).
