Abstract :
The IEEE Haptics Symposium, founded in 1992, is a vibrant forum where psychophysicists, engineers and designers of applications and interactions come together to share advances, spark new collaborations and envision a future that benefits from rich physical interactions between computers and human operators, generated through haptic (force and tactile) devices. In 2014, Haptics Symposium will take place February 24- 27, 2014 at the Doubletree Hotel in downtown Houston, TX, USA. This Haptics Symposium will be a standalone IEEE-sponsored conference, featuring a full day of tutorials and workshops (February 24), followed by two and a half days for the main conference in a single track (February 25-27).
