Complementary learning assist system: Guitar performance assist by haptic presentation

Abstract

Haptics is one of effective interface giving information as a position, force, and object texture. When people learn to motion like playing musical instruments, visual, hearing, and haptics feedback are valid. In this paper, we proposed haptic assist on musical instruments playing. As a method of haptic presentation, a haptic glove with bilateral control is developed. The glove has some small geared motors for each finger joint. As a result, the proposed method showed the usefulness of an intuitive learning teaching system by haptic feedback.
