Abstract
In this paper we present a highly expressive, robust, and easy-to-build system that provides force-feedback interaction for mobile computing devices (MCD). Our system, which we call fortissimo (ff ), utilizes standard built-in accelerometer measurements in conjunction with generic foam padding that can be easily placed under a device to render an expressive force-feedback performance setup. fortissimo allows for musically expressive user-interaction with added force-feedback which is integral for any musical controller – a feature that is absent for touchscreen-centric MCDs. This paper details ff core concepts, hardware and software designs, and expressivity of musical features.
