Abstract

Musical video games that allow users to play expensive musical instruments in a virtual environment constitute one of the most popular genres in the field of video games. Recent developments in motion input technology have enabled users to play the instruments intuitively and immersively. However, output technology, in particular haptic feedback, is not as advanced as input technology. We believe that providing a haptic sensation enriches the content of musical video games since the results of the motion input are fed back. To enrich the haptic sensation, we propose a system for playing virtual chromatic percussion, where the haptic feedback changes according to the instrument, as well as the acoustic feedback. In this paper, we propose a system describing a novel stick type controller and pseudo-haptic feedback to enrich the haptic sensation of the content. We also present an application that provides a virtual environment for playing two chromatic percussion instruments, namely the xylophone and glockenspiel.
