Active force-feedback holds the potential for precise and rapid controls. A high performance device can be built from a surplus disk drive and controlled from an inexpensive microcontroller. Our new design,The Plank has only one axis of force-feedback with limited range of motion. It is being used to explore methods of feeling and directly manipulating sound waves and spectra suitable for live performance of computer music.

“…The dimensions of the mechanism are shown in table 9.1. A voice coil actuator (VCA) (Buttolo et al, 1994) from a hard disk can exert a torque τ VCA around J u onto the motor arm. The angle of the motor arm is called α.…”
