By presenting curved surfaces of various curvatures including edges to the fingertip, it is possible to reproduce the haptic sensation of object shapes that cannot be reproduced by flat surfaces alone, such as spheres and rectangular objects. In this paper, we propose a method of presenting curved surfaces by controlling the inclination of a disk in contact with the finger belly with acoustic radiation pressure of ultrasound. The user only needs to mount a lightweight device on the fingertip to experience a tactile presentation with low physical burden. In the demonstration, the user can experience the sensation of stroking an edge and different curvatures of curved surfaces.
