Abstract
In ultrasound haptics, a tactile sensation is evoked on human skin that touches the high sound pressure area generated due to the interference of ultrasonic waves. Therefore, by controlling the distribution of sound pressure amplitude using a transducer array, it is possible to create tactile sensations at multiple points simultaneously. In this chapter, we first describe the relationship between the complex gains of the transducer array and the generated sound field. Then, we provide various algorithms to control the amplitude pattern based on this relationship.
