Abstract This project aims to translate the most basic music elements from a music MIDI file into an enjoyable and coherent haptic vibration. To achieve this goal a simple entertainment setup was developed. This setup consist of 3 main parts synchronized with the musical piece; a MIDI music player, a simple musical structure animation and an event based haptic vibration. The notes’ pitch, timing and duration are used as parameters to generate a real time haptic vibration. In order to do that, an event based haptic vibration is calculated depending on the note’s pitch and duration; using a sine damping function. The haptic vibration is displayed on a haptic device, resembling the tactile sensation of the note’s sound, all of this in synchrony with the music animation and the MIDI player sound.
