Welcome to the official website of the Symposium on Haptic Interfaces for Virtual Environments and Teleoperator Systems, commonly referred to as the "Haptics Symposium". This annual conference brings together researchers in diverse engineering and human science disciplines who are interested in the design, analysis, and evaluation of systems that display haptic (force and touch) information to human operators. Currently, the Haptics Symposium is held at WorldHaptics in conjunction with EuroHaptics in odd years (next in 2009) and in conjunction with IEEE Virtual Reality in even years (next in 2008). The proceedings of the Haptics Symposium are published by IEEE.
Upcoming Haptics Symposiums will be held:
2009 WorldHaptics: Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, date TBA (likely mid-late March, 2009)
2010 Haptics Symposium (with IEEE VR): Boston area, MA, USA, (likely mid-late March, 2010)
This site also provides general information relavant for haptic researchers and those interested in haptics, including information about related conferences , contact information for haptics research labs , and links to other haptics related sites and publication archives.
