Abstract:
An input device includes: a detector configured to detect an operation state of an operation body on an operation surface; a controller configured to execute an input control with respect to a predetermined instrument in accordance with the operation state of the operation body; and a drive portion configured to vibrate the operation surface. A selection position of the operation buttons on a display is correlated to a coordinate position of the operation body on the operation surface. The drive portion generates a predetermined vibration on the operation surface for a predetermined period in response to determining that the selection position of the operation buttons on the display is changed from one operation button to another operation button.
