the Haptics Symposium

The Haptics Symposium is an annual event focused on the science and technology of touch. It brings together researchers, engineers, and designers to share advances in haptic technology—systems that simulate the sense of touch through vibration, force, or motion. These innovations are applied in areas like virtual reality, robotics, gaming, and medical devices, enhancing how users interact with digital environments or tools. The symposium fosters collaboration, presenting the latest research, development, and applications that aim to improve tactile feedback, making digital interactions more immersive, intuitive, and realistic.
