Call for Abstracts – CIRMMT Symposium on Force Feedback and Music
The Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology
(CIRMMT) and the Input Devices and Music Interaction Laboratory (IDMIL),
McGill University, are organizing a 2-day workshop on December 9-10, 2016
to discuss the state-of-the-art and the possible future directions of
research on force-feedback and music (FF&M).
Summary of Important Information:
*CIRMMT Symposium on Force Feedback and Music
*When: December 9 10, 2016
*Where: CIRMMT, McGill University, Montreal, Qc, Canada (http://www.cirmmt.org)
*Deadline for abstract submission: Monday November 14 16 2016
*Acceptance notification: Thursday November 17 2016
Context:
Though haptics research in music is a very active research field, it seems
presently dominated by tactile interfaces, due in part to the widespread
availability of vibrotactile feedback in portable devices. Though now
recent‹with some of the its early contributions dating back to the end of
the 70s‹research on force-feedback in musical applications has
traditionally suffered from exogenous issues such as hardware cost, as
well as the lack of community-wide accessibility to software and hardware
platforms for prototyping musical applications. Despite this situation, in
recent years several works have addressed this topic proposing software
platforms and simulation models.
We believe that it is then time to probe the current state of research on
Force-feedback and music (FF&M).
Topics:
We invite the submission of abstracts summarizing innovative work
addressing force-feedback applications to music and media, including, but
not limited to, the following topics:
– Music and media applications of force-feedback systems
– FF models of musical actions
– Audio and mapping systems adapted to force-feedback applications
– Open-hardware and open-source solutions for developing and sharing
force-feedback/musical projects
– Evaluation of system quality vs cost in musical applications
– The pros/cons of existing hardware and software systems
– The obsolescence of hardware and software systems and ways to deal with
it
– Perceptual issues in FF&M
Abstract submission:
To propose a contribution, please send a one page summary of your proposal
detailing:
a) the research you carry out
b) its current results
c) its future perspectives
Deadlines and how to submit:
The deadline for abstract submission is *Monday November 14 2016*.
Please send your one-page abstract to marcelo.wanderley@mcgill.ca, with
the email subject: [FF&M 2016] Contribution by „XXX“
Selection results will be announced on Friday Nov 18.
The CIRMMT Symposium on Force Feedback and Music is sponsored by the Input
Devices and Music Interaction Laboratory, McGill University, the
Inria-FRQNT MIDWAY „équipes de recherche associées“ project, the Centre
for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology and McGill
University.
