%0 Conference Paper %B Audio Engineering Society %D 2012 %T Integration of Touch Pressure and Position Sensing with Speaker Diaphragms (Colocating Loudspeakers and Touch Interaction) %A Freed, Adrian %C San Francisco %I AES %X Speaker cones and other driver diaphragms are usually too fragile to be good sites for touch interaction. This can be solved by employing new, lightweight piezoresistive e-textiles with flat, rectangular, stiff surfaces used in full-range drivers from HiWave. Good low-frequency performance of piezoresistive fabric has an advantage over piezoelectric sensing for this situation. Applications of these integrated sensor/actuators include haptic feedback user interfaces and responsive electronic percussion instruments.
