A man applies load on a soft object with his fingers to evaluate its hardness and detects a force, deformation and touch sensation. As soft objects in our environment are finite, the boundary conditions have a significant effect on our evaluation. In this paper, hardness evaluation of soft objects with different kinds of thicknesses was examined and its accuracy was confirmed. In the experiment isolating the thickness information from subjects, the accuracy of evaluation decreased. This result suggests that the accuracy of the thickness and the size of the object severely affect the hardness evaluation in a virtual environment. In a further experiment restricting touch sensation, subjects evaluated the hardness inaccurately according to the force and deformation which was affected by the boundary conditions.
