Abstract

This chapter provides a review of haptically enhanced audio systems pertinent to extended reality (XR) platforms. It details the technological advancements that have made this possible and examines some experimental work that has been conducted in this area. Highlighting specific haptic tools in action, the text explores empirical evidence of their efficacy and the exploratory findings that suggest there are broader applications of these tools in audio-waveform manipulation/control. Recent research has demonstrated that haptic augmentation offers statistically significant benefit when using skeuomorphic tools to undertake various audio/music-production tasks in an XR environment. These tools are digital interfaces that mimic their real-world counterparts in both appearance and tactile response, offering intuitive manipulation and control. Other work has also introduced applications of non-skeuomorphic haptic tools, allowing users to physically interact with an audio abstraction by transforming sound into a virtual-but-tactile object that can be interrogated and 'played’, thus blurring the lines between production and live performance. In looking to the future of such work, this chapter will offer a perspective on how these emergent technologies could redefine the interface between a user and sound itself, offering a more immersive, intuitive and expressive means of crafting and performing music.
