The pseudo-haptic sensation setting program causes a computer to execute an acquisition process and an image generation process. The acquisition process is for acquiring a roughness parameter (FIN) indicating the roughness of the irregularities and a sharpness parameter (SHA) indicating the sharpness of the irregularities as setting parameters for determining the type of pseudo-haptic sensation. The image generation process is for generating a reference image (RI) which changes in accordance with a value of each setting parameter.

The hole (400) is made in the flat plate (41), and communicates the valve chamber (410) with outside of the valve (11). The hole (700) is made in the housing member (70), and communicates the valve chamber (410) with outside of the valve (11). The valve diaphragm (80) has a through-hole (800) that divides the valve chamber (410) into a first space on the flat plate (41) side and a second space on the housing member (70) side, and allows communication between the first space and the second space. The seat (43) projects from the flat plate (41) into the valve chamber (410), and is disposed at a position overlapping with the through-hole (800) in a planar view of the valve (11) in a first direction in which the flat plate (41) is viewed from the housing member (70).
