Abstract

In the recent years, a great interest has emerged to utilize tactile interfaces for musical interactions. These interfaces can be enhanced with tactile feedback on the user’s fingertip through various technologies, including programmable friction techniques. In this study, we use a qualitative approach to investigate the potential influence of these tactile feedback interfaces on user’s musical interaction. We have experimented three different mappings between the sound parameters and the tactile feedback in order to study the users’ experiences of a given task. Our preliminary findings suggest that friction-based tactile feedback is a useful tool to enrich musical interactions and learning.
