The MusicJacket has been evaluated through 50 sessions with schoolchildren in co-operation with their violin teachers. Children as young as six are able to improve their posture when playing with the system, and older children are able to use more sophisticated features of the system.
During a week of public performances in Battersea Arts Centre in London in 2010, blind and sighted volunteers took part in a haptic theatre experience. Many reported that the Haptic Lotus provided a strong sense of reassurance in the dark.
'Our research stimulates people senses and helps their performance,” says Dr van der Linden. “People learn to play the drums better as a result of our Haptic Drumkit and play the violin better as a result of our MusicJacket.'
