We attempted to produce an environment for education. Subjects such as mathematics or sciences are usually studied on a desk in a classroom. Our research goal is to allow students to study scientific contents more viscerally than existing studying methods by haptic interaction. To construct the environment, we have to make a user-friendly haptic interface. The study is described in two parts. The first part is defining what a useful haptic interface is. In this part, we focused on the grip of a haptic interface. SPIDAR-G is a haptic interface, which is manipulated by a grip with 8 strings.. Grip size is an important parameter for usability. We have found an optimal sphere size through SPIDAR-G usability testing. The other part is defining how teachers can use the interactive system with haptic interaction as a teaching aid. In this part , we focused on the interaction between two water molecules. First, we constructed an environment to feel Van der Waals force as well as electrostatic force with haptic interaction. Then, we observe the effectiveness of the environment when used by a class of students.
