Abstract:

Introduction (Marcelo): Justin Paterson and I edit a Special Issue of the Arts journal on haptics and music: “Feeling the Future—Haptic Audio”. I offered to interview you to have a long-term vision of ACROE, from the beginning to the present, because it is an important story that is, alas, unknown to many people.
Now is the opportunity to put all this in context. It was the same idea when I invited you to give a keynote speech at the NIME 2003 conference 20 years ago. At that time, you presented your research, spanning from your Ph.D. theses (Claude Cadoz, Annie Luciani, and Jean-Loup Florens) until 2003.
For the Arts Special Issue, I wrote an article with Christian that presents the opportunities and challenges of force feedback in music (FF&M). Among the questions we asked ourselves: are there still opportunities for FF&M? In what contexts? You have been doing incredible things for 50 years, and we are still waiting for the application where people will have force feedback at hand (no pun intended). Is this ever going to happen? For that to happen, what would it depend on?
