The present invention relates to a tactile transmission method and system in which when a user applies an action force to a tactile feedback apparatus on a transmission-side, a reaction force which reflects attributes of the action force and is proportional to the attributes is generated from a tactile feedback apparatus on a reception side so as to be transferred to a reception-side user. As described above, according to the tactile transmission method and system using tactile feedback apparatuses of the present invention, when a transmission-side user applies an action force to a tactile feedback apparatus on a transmission-side, a reaction force which reflects attributes of the action force and is proportional to the attributes is wirelessly transferred to a reception-side user located at a remote place, thereby enabling exchange of various contact information.
