Call for Papers HAPTEX 2007

VR Workshop On Haptic and Tactile Perception of Deformable Objects

Leibnizhaus Hannover, Germany
University of Hannover
October  24, 2007

HAPTEX - “HAPtic sensing of virtual TEXtiles” - is a research project funded under the Future and   Emerging Technologies (FET) Programme of the European Union (FP6/IST). Within the framework of this project, the Division of Computer Graphics of the Leibniz Universität Hannover (Welfenlab) organizes a workshop on haptic and tactile perception. To find out more about HAPTEX, please visit the project homepage.

All submissions will be peer reviewed. Papers in English containing original and unpublished results are solicited. Maximum 8 pages including figures for full and 5 pages for short papers are acceptable.

The accepted papers will be will be printed as a special session in the CW 2007 Conference Proceedings (publisher: IEEE). Extended versions of the best papers will be published in a special issue of "The Visual Computer".

Topics of Interest

• Human-Computer Interaction
• Simulating the touch, the hearing and the vision in virtual worlds
• Multimodal interaction system for presenting deformable materials
• Presenting haptic feedback in multimodal interaction
