Haptic sensing can provide a new dimension to enhance people's musical and cinematic experiences. However, designing a haptic pattern is neither intuitive nor trivial. Imagined haptic patterns tend to be different from experienced ones. As a result, researchers use simple step-curve patterns to create haptic stimuli. To this end, we designed and developed an intuitive haptic pattern designer that lets you rapidly prototype creative patterns. Our simple architecture, wireless connectivity, and easy-to-program communication protocol make it modular and easy to scale. In this demo, workshop participants can select from a library of haptic patterns and design new ones. They can feel the pattern as they make changes in the user interface. With this new workflow, researchers and artists can design and rapidly test haptic patterns for downstream tasks such as research experiments or create new musical and cinematic experiences.

翻译：触觉感知可为人们的音乐与电影体验增添新维度。然而，设计触觉模式既不直观也非易事，想象出的触觉模式往往与实际体验存在差异。因此，研究人员多采用简单的阶梯式曲线模式来生成触觉刺激。为此，我们设计并开发了一款直观的触觉模式设计器，可快速原型化创意模式。其简洁架构、无线连接功能及易编程的通信协议使其具备模块化与易扩展特性。在本次演示中，研讨会参与者可从触觉模式库中选择现有模式并设计新模式，通过用户界面实时调整以感知触觉变化。借助这一新工作流程，研究人员与艺术家可针对下游任务（如研究实验或创作新型音乐/电影体验）快速设计并测试触觉模式。更多项目详情请见 https://www.snehesh.com/hDesigner
