Abstract

This softness control device receives designation information designating the softness of a presented visual object, and, using information representing the correspondence between a deformation speed index representing the deformation speed of the visual object and a softness index representing the softness that is perceived from the visual object deforming at said deformation speed, obtains and outputs a deformation speed index that corresponds to the softness index representing the softness that is designated by the designation information. The designated softness can be made perceptible by presenting the presented visual object deforming at the deformation speed represented by the output deformation speed index.
