Call for Participation: Posters and Demos

Overview

We invite researchers, developers, and industry practitioners to contribute posters and demonstrations to our workshop on Standardization and Interoperability in Haptics. This interactive session aims to bridge research, standardization efforts, and real-world deployment by fostering hands-on exchange and discussion across communities.

Topics of Interest

• Haptic standards, including IEEE 1918.1.1 and MPEG-I Haptics
• Haptic data formats, coding, and compression
• Authoring tools, workflows, and content pipelines
• Communication protocols and real-time streaming of haptics
• Middleware, APIs, and cross-device interoperability
• Reference implementations and open-source tools
• Testbeds, datasets, and benchmarking frameworks
• Evaluation methodologies and quality metrics
• Applications in XR/VR, teleoperation, robotics, automotive, accessibility, healthcare, and related areas
• Industrial case studies, deployment experiences, and ecosystem challenges

Submission Format
