  Haptic sensing can provide a new dimension to enhance people's musical and
cinematic experiences. However, designing a haptic pattern is neither intuitive
nor trivial. Imagined haptic patterns tend to be different from experienced
ones. As a result, researchers use simple step-curve patterns to create haptic
stimuli. To this end, we designed and developed an intuitive haptic pattern
designer that lets you rapidly prototype creative patterns. Our simple
architecture, wireless connectivity, and easy-to-program communication protocol
make it modular and easy to scale. In this demo, workshop participants can
select from a library of haptic patterns and design new ones. They can feel the
pattern as they make changes in the user interface. With this new workflow,
researchers and artists can design and rapidly test haptic patterns for
downstream tasks such as research experiments or create new musical and
cinematic experiences. More details about the project are available at
