Portable modeling of virtual physics for audio and haptic interaction design
Edgar Berdahl, Zachary Berkowitz
Abstract
Synth-A-Modeler is a language for specifying and parameterizing virtual models of vibrating structures. These models can be compiled into a wide variety of target formats for real-time digital signal processing. To enable users to interact with the virtual models in real time, an open-source haptic device called the FireFader is provided. In demonstrations, users employ a FireFader to pluck a virtual vibrating string, from which they receive audio and haptic feedback. Digital signal processing is employed to calculate the audio and haptic signals. The audio signal is sampled at a fast rate such as 44.1kHz, and the haptic signal is downsampled at a lower sampling rate as limited by the USB bus. The entire toolchain is open-source and straightforwardly extensible.
