USING PHYSICAL MODELS IS NECESSARY TO GUARANTEE STABILE ANALOG HAPTIC FEEDBACK FOR ANY USER AND HAPTIC DEVICE

International audienceIt might be easy to imagine that physical models only represent a small portion of the universe of appropriate force feedback controllers for haptic new media; however, we argue the contrary in this work, in which we apply creative physical model design to re-examine the science of feedback stability. The work implies that besides all of the known advantages of physical models, we can argue that we should employ only them for designing haptic force device

Satellite CCRMA: A Musical Interaction and Sound Synthesis Platform

ABSTRACT This paper describes a new Beagle Board-based platform for teaching and practicing interaction design for musical applications. The migration from desktop and laptop computerbased sound synthesis to a compact and integrated control, computation and sound generation platform has enormous potential to widen the range of computer music instruments and installations that can be designed, and improves the portability, autonomy, extensibility and longevity of designed systems. We describe the technical features of the Satellite CCRMA platform and contrast it with personal computer-based systems used in the past as well as emerging smart phone-based platforms. The advantages and tradeoffs of the new platform are considered, and some project work is described
