Welcome to all Newcomers, Visitors and Members of the Special Interest Group on Haptics (Haptics SIG).

The Haptics SIG is a society for professionals, academics and students who are interested in Haptics. It is affiliated to EuroVR, the European Association for Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. You don't have to be a member of EuroVR to join the SIG (for that matter, you don't even need to be European), although you should consider joining EuroVR as well.

Do not hesitate to register, and to submit contributions or comments (see Join & contributions page).

Next Generation Multimedia Research & Development

The field of multimedia communications includes the representation, storage, retrieval, and dissemination of electronic information, including text, images, audio, and video. Interactive multimedia environments have the vision of enhancing our everyday environment and interaction through sensing, computing, and communication capabilities. This workshop offers an opportunity and a common forum for local and international researchers, scientists, students, engineers, and practitioners to interact with each other, present, and discuss their latest research developments and applications.

Convened by
Sunil Kumar Dean of Engineering, NYUAD
Abdulmotaleb El Saddik Visiting Professor of Electrical Engineering, NYUAD

MultiSensory Integration Meeting

University of Birmingham, Monday 11th June 2012

This one day event is organised by postgraduate researchers from the University of Birmingham, with the aim of promoting communication between researchers interested in the integration of sensory information. The meeting will cover a range of approaches to the topic, including behavioural, neuroimaging, and computational methods, as well as applications in robotics. We will conclude the meeting with a demonstration of 'Dora the Explorer' -Cognitive systems that Self-understand and Self-extend.

The deadline for registration / abstract submission for posters is Friday 20th May.

Organisers:
Aidan Murphy, Giacomo Mazzilli, Dicle Dövencioğlu, and Claudio Zito with funding from the Roberts Skills Training Fund and Guarantors of Brain.

Immersion haptic feedback SDK for Android released

Universal Haptic Layer (UHL)
The Universal Haptic Layer is a set of libraries (in the form of a JAR file and .SO file) that you add to your application to enable haptics in your application. For an overview of what the UHL is, see What is the UHL? in the Basics section of the Developer Guide. The UHL is all you need to add pre-defined haptic effects to your application.
