Evaluation of 3D Haptic Target Rendering to Support Timing in Music Tasks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Haptic feedback is an important element that needs to be carefully designed in computer music interfaces. This paper presents an evaluation of several force renderings for target acquisition in space when used to support a music related task. The study presented here addresses only one musical aspect: the need to repeat elements accurately in time and in content. Several force scenarios will be rendered over a simple 3D target acquisition task and users’ performance will be quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated. The results show how the users’ subjective preference for a particular kind of force support does not always correlate to a quantitative measurement of performance enhancement. We describe a way in which a control mapping for a musical interface could be achieved without contradicting the users’ preferences as obtained from the study.

Study of Performances of "Haptic Walls" Modalities for a 3D Menu
We introduce a new technique of haptic guidance for item selection in 3D menus for VR applications called “haptic walls”. It consists in haptically rendering a solid funnel to guide the pointer towards a target located in the angle. We designed a 3D haptic menu using this approach: a thin polyhedral shape with the items at the corners. The “haptic walls” are experimented with 2 different shapes...
متن کاملSegmentation and Visualization of 3D Medical Images through Haptic Rendering
High-dimensional and high-resolution image data is increasingly produced by modern medical imaging equipment. As a consequence, the need for efficient interactive tools for segmentation and visualization of these medical images is also increasing. Existing software include state-of-the-art algorithms, but in most cases the interaction part is limited to 2D mouse/keyboard, despite the tasks bein...
متن کاملA a Novel Haptic Rendering Technique Using a Hybrid Surface Representation Addresses Conventional Limitations in Haptic Displays. a Haptic-rendering Technique Based on Hybrid Surface Representation 66
explore, paint, and manipulate virtual 3D models in a natural way using a haptic display device. A haptic rendering algorithm must generate a force field to simulate the presence of these virtual objects and their surface properties (such as friction and texture), or to guide the user along a specific trajectory. We can roughly classify haptic rendering algorithms according to the surface repre...
متن کاملReal-Time Synchronised 3D-Perceptualisation
The aim is to support application users to inspect the results of software that simulates complex, time-variant physical phenomena in the natural and engineering sciences. The objective is to ’perceptualise’ the Gigabytes of data by means of visual and haptic 3D animations. The quality of the animations depends, among other aspects, on the reliable synchronisation of the animation frames, indep...
متن کاملInteraction Metaphors for Modeling Virtual Hair using Haptic Interfaces
Shaping realistic hairstyles for digital characters is a difficult, long and tedious task. The lack of appropriate interaction metaphors enabling efficient and simple, yet accurate hair modeling further aggravates the situation. This paper presents 3D interaction metaphors for modeling virtual hair using haptic interfaces. We discuss user tasks, ergonomic aspects, as well as haptics-based styli...
