Are you an EPFL student looking for a semester project?
Work with us on data science and visualisation projects, and deploy your project as an app on top of Graph Search.
The goal of this project is to design, build and test a 3D touch-sensing interface prototype capable of reading input positional and force values that then generate sinusoidal sound waves. This prototype is intended to be integrated onto a haptic feedback surface as part of the Time-Reversed Impulse Response Haptic Demonstrator (TRID) that sends localized vibrotactile feedback peaks using piezoelectric transducers bonded to a glass surface. The 3D touch technology is meant to be superimposed onto this haptic surface with the goal of turning the ensemble into a Digital Musical Instrument (DMI). Though the end goal is this singular transparent surface with both input and output feature, the reach of this project is merely a proof of concept and initial prototyping of the force sensing surface and DMI implementation, not full integration onto the TRID surface.
