Live Stage: Haptic Feedback using airborne ultrasound [
Paris]

Miha Ciglar, from IRZU (Institute for Sonic Arts Research in Slovenia) will give a talk on: Artistic productions and research projects @ IRZU :: January 20, 2010 from 12:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. :: IRCAM – Centre Pompidou 1, place Igor-Stravinsky, Paris, France ::
The Institute for Sonic Arts Research (IRZU) is a non-governmental organisation. It is based on an interdisciplinary concept and is conducting artistic productions in the field of electro-acoustic music / sonic arts, as well as audio technology research and educational activities. The research activities include digital signal processing with the focus on Music Information Retrieval, as well as the development of new interfaces for musical expression.
The presentation will give an overview of the IRZU artistic productions, which are usually based on the results of audio technology research. A particular focus will be put on one of the most recently developed interface prototypes – a haptic feedback instrument – introducing a non-contact method for generating tactile sensation using airborne ultrasound. In addition to the presentation, the interface functionality will also be practically demonstrated.
