Abstract:

Thanks to force-feedback and physical modeling technologies, it seems possible today to reach the same kind of relation with virtual instruments than with acoustic instruments, but the design of such elaborate models needs guidelines based on the study of the human sensory-motor system. This article present a qualitative study of such instrumental interaction in the case of the virtual bowed string, simulated with both waveguide and mass-interaction models. Subjects were invited to explore the possibilities of the simulations and to express themselves at the same time, allowing us to identify key qualities of the proposed systems that determine the construction of an intimate and rich relationship between them and the users.
