Location: Webb 1100 (east of Davidson Library 

 

 

Abstract:

In our interaction with the world we commonly experience Full-body as well
as Haptic vibration sensations that provide a great deal of information
about our surroundings. These sensations provide a powerful contribution to
our environment perception and our emotional state. By reproducing
motion/vibration sensations in a home theater or lab, we can create new art
or vastly improve Video Games, Movies, VR Environments and Music.

 

The tools required to record, manipulate and reproduce real-world vibration
are currently available and relatively inexpensive. Several recording
methods and applications will be presented as well as demonstrations of
audio/video/motion art. Crowson Technology motion recording tools and
Tactile Motion Actuators will be made available for hands-on experience
