Haptics

Scope

Haptics research has permeated many disciplines and application areas. Early efforts in haptics focused on sensory substitution: stimulating the sense of touch to convey imagery or speech for individuals with visual and/or auditory impairments. With the advent of force-feedback devices, there has been renewed interest in using haptic interfaces in teleoperator systems and virtual environments. Most recently, touchscreen displays and wearable devices have been capturing the attention of haptics researchers.

TCH Early Career Award

The TCH Early Career Award is awarded biannually to recognize outstanding contributions to the area of haptics by members of our community who are in the earlier stages of their career. All members of the TCH who are within 10 years of receiving their doctoral degree by 1/1/2025 and are in an untenured or non-permanent position are eligible for the award. Applications are by nomination only; no self-nominations will be entertained.
