“…The absence of compelling haptic feedback does not allow for this loop to be obtained in an optimal manner, thus diminishing the musician's ability to control the device and express itself. In addition, the performance and fidelity of the notes are reduced, and the listeners are also impacted by a less expressive performance [14]. Indeed, the sense of touch is an essential sense for interacting with world around us.…”

There is a rapid growth of interest in digital musical instruments due to advantages they present over their physical counterparts such as portability and novel experiences. However, these instruments still rarely provide haptic feedback, which results in weakened user experience. This study investigates whether haptic renderings of three guitar strings are discriminated by touch and whether they provide a realistic sensation of plucking a guitar string. Specifically, five methods to record and replay the vibrations induced by the plucking of a guitar string were tested. Three procedures relied on recordings made on the right hand's index finger, which underwent three types of filtering. Another one was recorded on the left hand kept motionless on the guitar's fingerboard. The fifth method recorded the vibrations directly on the neck of the guitar. The results revealed that good discrimination of the rendered string occurred only for recordings made on the motionless left hand's index finger or on the guitar. Participants also rated these conditions as being the most realistic, regardless of whether they were acquainted with musical instruments. Overall, this study shows that distinct guitar strings can be rendered by vibrotactile feedback and that tactile noise due to the interaction impairs their recognition and perceived realism.

“…In recent years, there has been increasing interest in wearable devices encompassing haptic stimulation and targeting music performers [6,16,23,33]. This endeavor falls within the remits of the emerging feld of musical haptics, which relates to the application of haptics research to the musical domain [24]. Works in this feld has included the development of haptic interfaces not only for music performers (e.g., haptically-enhanced digital musical instruments [19,34] or tactile notifcation systems [12,15,27]), but also for music listeners (e.g., haptic devices aiming to enrich the musical listening experience [21,32]).…”

The emergence of new technologies is providing opportunities to develop novel solutions that facilitate the integration of visuallyimpaired people in diferent activities of our daily life, including collective music making. This paper presents a study conducted with visually-impaired music performers, which involved a participatory approach to the design of accessible technologies for musical communication in group playing. We report on three workshops that were conducted together with members of an established ensemble of solely visually-impaired musicians. The frst workshop focused on the identifcation of the participants' needs during the activity of playing in groups and how technology could satisfy such needs. The second and third workshops investigated, respectively, the activities of choir singing and instrument playing in ensemble, focusing on the key issue of synchronisation that was identifed in the frst workshop. The workshops involved prototypes of musical haptic wearables, which were co-designed and evaluated by the participants. Overall, results indicate that wireless tactile communication represents a promising avenue to cater efectively to the needs of visually-impaired performers.

This chapter serves as an introduction and motivation for the field of haptic research. It provides an overview of the technical domains covered, but also introduces the philosophical and social aspects of human haptic sense. Various definitions of haptics as a perceptual and interaction modality are discussed to serve as a common ground for the rest of the book. Typical application areas such as telepresence, training, interaction with virtual environments and communication are introduced and typical haptic systems from these areas are discussed.
