About

Razvan Paisa is a researcher at the intersection of haptics, auditory perception, and inclusive music technology. His work centers on multisensory feedback—specifically, how tactile, visual, and auditory cues can be combined to create more immersive and accessible musical experiences. Paisa’s major contributions include the development of **Keytar**, a virtual plucked string instrument built in Unity3D that uses a Phantom Omni robotic arm to deliver realistic haptic feedback alongside audio and visuals. This work bridges virtual instrument design and human-computer interaction, offering new ways to simulate string vibration and touch. His most cited paper, a scoping review on tactile displays for auditory augmentation (2023, 10 citations), surveys 27 years of progress in the field and reflects on applications for hearing-impaired users, highlighting his commitment to inclusive design. Paisa’s research is notable for its interdisciplinary approach, combining engineering, music, and accessibility. With a growing citation footprint, he is helping shape how we think about multisensory interaction—making digital instruments not only more expressive but also more equitable for diverse users.
