Prof. Oliver Schneider and PhD Student Bibhushan Joshi from Haptics Computing Lab along with Donald Degraen (Saarland University), Prof. Georg Freitag (University of Applied Sciences Dresden), Paul Strohmeier (Sensorimotor Interaction Group MPI for Informatics), Bruno Fruchard (Inria - Lille) and Dennis Wittchen (University of Applied Sciences Dresden) were successfully able to organize CHI 2022 workshop on "Sustainable Haptic Design: Improving Collaboration, Sharing, and Reuse in Haptic Design Research".

We would like to express our gratitude towards our Speakers Eric Vezzoli (CEO and Co-Founder - Go Touch VR), Prof. Vincent Levesque (Assistant Professor - ETS) and Prof. Hasti Seifi (Assistant Professor - University of Copenhagen) for sharing their knowledge, and Thank all the participants for their active involvement and making the workshop fun and interactive.

The Haptic Computing Lab is attending World Haptics 2021! We have one technical paper and several WIPs

Suji Sathiyamurthy will presenting her work on measuring HX:

Sathiyamurthy, S., Liu, M., Kim, E. and Schneider, O. 2021. Measuring Haptic Experience : Elaborating the HX model with scale development. To Appear in World Haptics ’21. (2021), 6.

Tomorrow we will join the other HCI@Waterloo labs in a livestream! Watch for our two papers:

9:00 AM - 9:55 AM Nicole Dillen and Marko Ilievski will present Keep Calm and Ride Along: Passenger Comfort and Anxiety as Physiological Responses to Autonomous Driving Styles

The Haptic Computing Lab now has a website! Come back anytime to check out lab news and our latest projects.

Erin Kim, Nicole Dillen, and Marko Ilievski will head to the ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2020) in Hawaii to present their work on defining haptic experience (Kim) and studying passenger comfort and anxiety in Autonomous Vehicles (Dillen and Ilievski).

Stay tuned for pre-prints and project descriptions of both papers.
