Haptics is a growing area of technology that has permeated many fields including robotics, health care, and entertainment. One particularly interesting field that it can contribute to is that of music. This thesis explores two main areas in which haptics can assist or enhance musical performance.First, two force-feedback devices were used to create the Hapstrument, an expressive bimanual digital musical instrument. The left-hand device controls pitch selection with force feedback helping to guide the user to the desired note. The right-hand device controls excitation by simulating the bowing or plucking of a string and generating the corresponding haptic feedback. A user study was run to evaluate the effectiveness of the Hapstrument and received a wide range of reviews, some high and some low. For the participants whose musical backgrounds aligned with the Hapstrument's capabilities, it was an effective digital musical instrument that uses force feedback to enhance musical expression.The second part of this thesis investigates how haptics can be used to communicate musical information to blind musicians so that they can "read" music without needing to memorize it. The current methods for learning music with blindness are learning by ear or with Braille music notation, both of which require memorization. By using a haptic vest embedded with vibrotactile motors, musicians feel vibrations which map to specific musical notes, allowing them to "read" and play their instrument in real-time. After developing the mapping technique and running a pilot study on sighted participants, a user study was conducted with ten blind musicians. Over the course of the study, each participant substantially improved their ability to identify vibrations and play the corresponding notes. However, there was still a significant delay, especially when moving between octaves. There are two possible future routes for the haptic vest. First, novice blind musicians could use the vest while initially learning their instrument. Second, the vest could communicate chords instead of individual notes, which musicians could use when playing jazz or contemporary music in an ensemble.Through both the Hapstrument and the haptic vest, this thesis demonstrates two ways in which haptic interfaces can enhance or assist in the making of music. The results of this research will hopefully inspire future exploration into the integration of haptics with music production and education.

520 $a L'haptique est un domaine technologique en pleine expansion qui a penetre de nombreux secteurs, dont la robotique, les soins de sante et le divertissement. Un domaine particulierement interessant auquel elle peut contribuer est celui de la musique. Cette these explore deux domaines principaux dans lesquels l'haptique peut aider ou ameliorer la performance musicale.Premierement, deux dispositifs a retour de force ont ete utilises pour creer l'Hapstrument, un instrument de musique numerique bimanuel expressif. Le dispositif de gauche controle la selection de la hauteur du son, le retour de force aidant a guider l'utilisateur vers la note desiree. Le dispositif de la main droite controle l'excitation en simulant l'archet ou le pincement d'une corde et en generant le retour haptique correspondant. Une etude sur des utilisateurs a ete menee pour evaluer l'efficacite de l'Hapstrument et a recu un large eventail d'avis, certains positifs, d'autres negatifs. Pour les participants dont les antecedents musicaux correspondaient aux capacites de l'Hapstrument, il s'agissait d'un instrument de musique numerique efficace qui utilise le retour de force pour ameliorer l'expression musicale.La deuxieme partie de cette these etudie comment l'haptique peut etre utilisee pour communiquer des informations musicales aux musiciens aveugles afin qu'ils puissent "lire" la musique sans avoir besoin de la memoriser. Les methodes actuelles d'apprentissage de la musique pour les non-voyants sont l'apprentissage a l'oreille ou la notation musicale en braille, qui necessitent toutes deux de la memorisation. En utilisant un gilet haptique equipe de moteurs vibrotactiles, les musiciens ressentent des vibrations qui correspondent a des notes de musique specifiques, ce qui leur permet de "lire" et de jouer de leur instrument en temps reel. Apres avoir mis au point la technique de mappage et mene une etude pilote sur des participants voyants, une etude sur des utilisateurs a ete realisee avec dix musiciens aveugles. Au cours de l'etude, chaque participant a considerablement ameliore sa capacite a identifier les vibrations et a jouer les notes correspondantes. Toutefois, un retard important subsistait, notamment lors du passage d'une octave a l'autre. Deux voies d'avenir sont possibles pour le gilet haptique. Tout d'abord, les musiciens aveugles debutants pourraient utiliser le gilet lors de l'apprentissage initial de leur instrument. Ensuite, le gilet pourrait communiquer des accords au lieu de notes individuelles, ce que les musiciens pourraient utiliser lorsqu'ils jouent du jazz ou de la musique contemporaine dans un ensemble.Par le biais de l'Hapstrument et de la veste haptique, cette these demontre deux facons dont les interfaces haptiques peuvent ameliorer ou aider a faire de la musique. Les resultats de cette recherche inspireront, nous l'esperons, l'exploration future de l'integration de l'haptique dans la production et l'education musicale.
