In this paper, we propose an ungrounded pen-shaped kinesthetic display that exerts force on a user's fingers without restricting hand movements in order to support sketching in virtual environments. To make this device compact and to satisfactorily represent the sensation of touching virtual objects with a pen, we have devised a method to exert forces on the user's fingers by moving the grip of the device toward the base fixed to the user's hand. We have implemented the device and verified its ability to exert force. We have also constructed a 3D haptic interaction system, whereby the user can see and touch virtual objects by using a haptic device. The system also allows the user to create tangible 3D shapes by sketching 2D figures on a virtual canvas with force feedback.
