A tactile closed-loop device for musical interaction
This addresses the need for more intuitive and tactile interfaces in music technology, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing closed-loop and magnet-based interaction concepts.
The authors tackled the problem of musical interaction by developing a tactile closed-loop device using a freely held magnet for both input and output, resulting in a functional prototype with programmable behavior.
This paper presents a device implementing a closed tactile loop for musical interaction, based on a small freely held magnet which serves as the medium for both input and output. The component parts as well as an example of its programmable behaviour are described.
