Abstract
Haptic feedback is an important element that needs to be
carefully designed in computer music interfaces. This
paper presents an evaluation of several force renderings for
target acquisition in space when used to support a music
related task. The study presented here addresses only one
musical aspect: the need to repeat elements accurately in
time and in content. Several force scenarios will be
rendered over a simple 3D target acquisition task and
users’ performance will be quantitatively and qualitatively
evaluated. The results show how the users’ subjective
preference for a particular kind of force support does not
always correlate to a quantitative measurement of
performance enhancement. We describe a way in which a
control mapping for a musical interface could be achieved
without contradicting the users’ preferences as obtained
from the study.
