Matt stood holding a microphone and presenting his talk. The projector shows a Conclusions slide with the bullet points: - This is hard - Consider specific use cases - Consider sensor + actuator limitations - This is interesting
A diagram displaying 4 different methods of achieving closely coupled sensing and actuation. From top to bottom: Time (where the system alternates between sensing and actuating), Frequency (where sensing and actuating occur in different frequency ranges), Impedance (where impedance variables, such as voltage and current or force and velocity, are used to separate sensing and actuating) and Modality (where sensing and actuating occur in different, but perceptually similar, domains).

The HaptiCoupler demo setup with two HaptiCoupler kits - one standalone and one connected to a host computer, along with an information poster
A poster briefly describing the HaptiCoupler kit. The kit uses a Teensy 4.0 and a MAX98389 class D amplifier along with a voice coil transducer.
A video showing a hand tapping and pushing down on the HaptiCoupler voice coil transducer. This excites an inbuilt Karplus Strong drum synth.
