Hapkit - a force-feedback virtual drum

[patinaproject]

...the sound was just a sine wave with an amplitude envelope (running in matlab's simulink)... dead easy to make in any audio program!

[TheHevquip]

What was the audio source? I am looking to synthesize the same sound if possible.

[W4RW017]

I FUCKING LOVE THE SOUND!!

Check RHYTHMTANDEM for another drum invention.

potentiometer would make a cool WAHHHH WAHHHHHH sound im sure if you added one into the device. maybe if you top'd out the pot w/ a recitifer could trigger a capacitor drain to give the wahhhh sound a fade? short on characters to explain more. but great work! 5 stars!

nice one. like it

i was gunna go 2 reading. not now though.

question, when i went 2 the open day, there was a thing where u could put ur thumb and for fingure in a hold, and move them to pick up virtual objects on a screen. objects would feel solid virtually. any idea if there is a video of that on here? send a PM if you could. cheers

well done, makes me wanna attend the university of reading nw :P

[LoyalWolf186]

becuase this could be developed to virtual reality drumming? =P

[jimbobmcgee]

Lol, I'm all for Technology, I don't see why my COmment was maked as Spam, when it was an Opinion related to the Video... Anyway, I DO like this.

scalability and adaptability. just THINK.

[MatthewHudghton]

thats cool

[travbrack]

That's truly incredible... Does it feel like a real drum?

[peterdbennett]

Almost. It's a little bit softer, but you get the same amount of force back as a real drum. Also you can feel the vibrations on the skin in the same way as a real drum.

[travbrack]

Sweet. Harmonix might try to snatch up your idea for rock band 2 if you're not careful :P
