Call for Papers

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 Welfenlab, University of Hanover organizes a workshop on haptic and tactile perception. All submissions will be peer reviewed. The most interesting contributions to the workshop will be published in a special issue of The Visual Computer after the workshop took place.

For more information about the HAPTEX project, please see http://haptex.miralab.unige.ch
