Call for paper
Workshop on “Recent Advances in Haptic Interaction”,
Laval Virtual 2010, Virtual Reality International Conference, Laval,
Scope:
The haptic sense provides the most natural way to experience contact with virtual worlds, including the perception of features such as forces, stiffness or roughness of virtual materials. Unlike visual or auditory rendering, haptic rendering is relatively new and the associated interfaces and techniques are less widespread. However, numerous haptic interfaces have been developed up-to-now, including force-feedback and tactile devices.
Haptic interaction with real or virtual environments is a highly multidisciplinary field of research which expands fast. The design of efficient haptic interfaces and their integration in applications involve indeed various research challenges including hardware, software or perceptual issues.
This workshop intends to foster discussions and exchanges among participants and provide the audience with recent and original findings in the field of haptic interaction, covering all its aspects. The workshop solicits research papers (4-6 pages) and posters (1-2 pages) in the area of Haptic Interaction addressing one or more of the following topics, although authors should not feel limited by them:
- Haptic perception, haptic illusions, multimodal integration, perception-based haptics
- Haptic devices, tactile/force-feedback, human-scale haptics, wearable haptics
- Haptic interaction techniques, computer-human interaction based on haptics
- Haptic rendering, computer haptics, haptic software architecture
- Haptic applications, integration of haptics in virtual environments
