Applied to a musical context, specific actuation patterns transmit predetermined score information to mobile musicians through this new kind of ergonomic interface. Thus, this tactile information can be used to train musicians to text/html 2016-07-20T10:21:46+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www-archive.idmil.org/projects/haptics/breakflute Breakflute - A wind controller providing vibrotactile feedback Project Description The Breakflute, currently under construction, is a digital musical instrument that displays vibrotactile feedback. The physical interface is similar to a open-tonehole flute, with vibration actuators inside the mouthpiece and toneholes. The interface will control a specialized digital synthesizer that will provide both sound and vibration feedback. These two high resolution feedback channels, simultaneously acti… text/html 2016-07-20T10:21:46+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www-archive.idmil.org/projects/haptics/enhancing_haptic_devices_by_means_of_vibrating_actuators Enhancing Low-cost Haptic Devices by means of Vibrating Actuators Project Description Force-feedback devices can provide haptic feedback during interaction with physical models for sound synthesis. However, low-end devices may not always provide high-fidelity display of the acoustic characteristics of the model. text/html 2016-07-20T10:21:46+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www-archive.idmil.org/projects/haptics/force_feedback_for_audio_systems Force feedback for audio systems Project Description This project is an attempt to find ways to integrate force-feedback haptics into audio and multi-media systems.

Currently, SANDDE supports a variety of input devices, but lacks support for mechanical kinematic hand controllers.

Unlike force feedback, it does not involve a force as such but makes use of the sensation of texture and of vibration. In traditional acoustic musical instruments this feedback comes to the performer from the resonating body of the instrument. The performer’s body is in contact with the instrument and so the performer feels the vibrations of the instr… text/html 2016-07-20T10:21:46+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www-archive.idmil.org/projects/haptics/vibrotactile_learning_interface_for_guitar_players Whole-body Vibrotactile Learning Interface for Guitar Players Project Description The aim of this project is to create a full-body vibrotactile display that can be used as a tool to help learning music performance.
