Abstract:
In an input apparatus, under a state where contact of a manipulating body to a predetermined position on a manipulation surface is detected, a second low frictional force between the manipulation surface and the manipulating body is provided by vibrating the manipulation surface. The second low frictional force is smaller than a frictional force between the manipulation surface and the manipulating body when the manipulation surface is not vibrated. In response to determining the movement of the manipulating body from the predetermined position towards a target position on the manipulation surface, a first low frictional force between the manipulation surface and the manipulating body is provided by a predetermined time by vibrating the manipulation surface. The first low frictional force is smaller than the second low frictional force.
