Abstract;Force information in virtual space is important and often required for many kinds of virtual reality. While passive force displays which use only passive elements are more effective methods for assuring safety rather than active type displays, they have some directions and link postures which are hard to present force. To this problem, a method using redundant couple of brakes was suggested. The purpose of this study is presenting arbitrary virtual objects by passive type force display. First, we selected an optimal brake to present a virtual wall more smoothly. Second, we constructed algorithms for presenting virtual objects like polygons. And finally, we tried to move virtual objects. (author abst.)
