We here propose a three-dimensional shape presentation system using linear actuators which can control the displacement of a rod to a precision of 0.1 mm. We assume that this system will be used as a device to present topographical/shape information to people with visual impairments. For this study, we produced a prototype system equipped with precision linear actuators, and conducted experiments to evaluate the capabilities of the system.
