In order to analyze tactile sense of touch in manipulating real-world objects, haptic information is required to be captured without obstructing touch interaction. This study designed a system that enables to simultaneously measure finger force and three-dimensional position without preventing tactile sense of touch. The system consists of a contact force sensor which estimates contact force through deformation of finger, and a magnetic sensor to obtain three-dimensional position of the finger.
