Abstract

This paper describes the development of a virtual violin bow haptic human-computer interface, which senses bow position with encoders, to drive bowed-string physical model synthesis, while engaging servomotors, to simulate the haptic feedback of a violin bow on a string. Construction of the hardware and programming of the software are discussed, as well as the motivation for building the instrument, and its planned uses.
