Summary:A haptic interface is provided to increase training effect of a user by supplying a similar feel and kinesthetic sense to a real condition to a user. A straight operating unit(310) is movably installed at a supporting part(350), and an endoscope tube(360) is fixed to one side of the straight operating unit. The straight operating unit delivers a reaction force to the linear motion of the endoscope tube to a user through the endoscope tube. A roll rotational motion unit(320) is installed at the straight operating unit to be rotatable, and the roll rotational motion part delivers the reaction force to rotational motion of a roll direction of the endoscope tube to user through the endoscope tube. The driving force sensor(330) is pivotally fixed to the straight operating unit.
