Dear all,
I wish to invite you to a forthcoming workshop entitled '*Musical
haptics: use and relevance of haptic feedback in musical practice*' that
will be held on July 4, 2016 at the Eurohaptics 2016 conference
<http://www.eurohaptics2016.org/> in London, UK. More information is
provided below.
The program can be found at the workshop webpage
<https://www.zhdk.ch/index.php?id=108267>.
Best regards,
Stefano Papetti
*Abstract*
Together with audition, the sense of touch is key when playing
traditional musical instruments, supporting performance control (e.g.,
timing, intonation) and expressivity. Conversely, while current digital
musical interfaces usually offer touch-mediated interaction, they
currently do not provide a natural physical experience to the performer.
We argue that future digital musical instruments (DMIs) providing
advanced haptic feedback may offer enhanced user experience and
performance. Also, haptic feedback would facilitate the access to DMIs
for persons with somatosensory loss, the visually and even the hearing
impaired, and it may provide an effective means for musical tuition and
guidance. However, the details of how the auditory and haptic modalities
are actually exploited in instrumental performance are still largely
unknown, and require further research. For this reason, and due to still
unanswered technological requirements, the design of haptic DMIs is not
yet established. To investigate such issues, a strongly
interdisciplinary scientific approach is required, bringing together
fields such as haptic technology, psychophysics of audition and touch,
physics of musical instruments, applied psychology and human-computer
interaction.
The workshop will present the latest researches (and related open
issues) on the role of the haptic modality in the musician-instrument
interplay, and on the implementation of haptic feedback in digital
musical instruments.
*Target audience*
The workshop is especially targeted to haptic engineers, interaction
designers, HCI researchers, musicians and musical instrument designers
who are interested in the use of haptic and auditory feedback in musical
devices and human-computer interfaces in the broader sense.
*Registration*
Interested attendees must register
