PocoPoco: A Kinetic Musical Interface With Electro-Magnetic Levitation Units
نویسندگان
چکیده
We developed original solenoid actuator units with several built-in sensors, and produced a box-shaped musical interface “PocoPoco” using 16 units of them as a universal input/output device. We applied up-and-down movement of the solenoid-units and user’s intuitive input to musical interface. Using transformation of the physical interface, we can apply movement of the units to new interaction design. At the same time we intend to suggest a new interface whose movement itself can attract the user.

Tuned Parameters of PID for Optimization of Losses in Magnetic Levitation System
In this paper a new method is proposed for determining PID controller parameters in order to decrease losses in levitation system of magnetic trains. It is assumed that this system is a hybrid system and it consists of electric and permanent magnet. For optimization of losses initially AC losses of magnetic levitation system are calculated. Linear model of levitation system as well as modeling ...
متن کاملMAGNETIC LEVITATION A Review
This paper deals with the present scenario of magnetic levitation with LIM. The magnetically levitated train has no wheels, but floats-or surfs-on an electromagnetic wave, enabling rides at 330 miles per hour. By employing no wheels, maglev eliminates the friction, and concomitant heat, associated with conventional wheel-on-rail train configurations. There are two basic types of non-contact Mag...
متن کاملUsing Magnetic Levitation for Haptic Interaction
Magnetic levitation as a means of motion and force/torque control can provide many advantages for high-fidelity haptic interaction, as compared to motorized linkage and cable actuation. Impedance-based haptic interface devices function both as force display devices, generating forces and/or torques to be felt by the user, and as input devices, sensing the motions imparted by the user to the dev...
متن کاملDesign of a Hemispherical Magnetic Levitation Haptic Interface Device
We are currently fabricating a haptic interface device to enable direct physical interaction with dynamic simulated three-dimensional environments by exerting and reacting to forces and motions between the user's hand and a magnetically levitated object. Our device uses magnetic levitation rather than a motorized linkage so that the dynamics are simple and actuator nonlinearities such as hyster...
متن کاملOn-Chip Manipulation of Levitated Femtodroplets
We report diamagnetic levitation of droplets and/or particles of pico–femtoliter volume and demonstrate their on-chip storage and high precision manipulation (translation, merging, assembling and rotation). We also demonstrate a levitation based microfluidic processor to process droplets/particles with up to a billion times smaller volume than in typical microfluidic devices. The levitated part...
