Identified key UX issues in standard ‘Audio-to-Haptic’ systems, primarily perceived latency and a lack of distinct sound source separation.
Implemented an enhanced processing pipeline that combines low-pass filtering with an AI-powered stem-splitter (spleeter) to isolate and map haptic feedback to specific instruments like bass and drums.
Conducted two rounds of user tests where participants compared the new system against the conventional method across various music genres, providing qualitative feedback on immersion and synchronization.
Validated that the AI-enhanced system provided a superior user experience, with test subjects unanimously preferring it for its significant reduction in perceived delay.
