TPAC 2023 (Calendar)

Haptic feedback technologies, which stimulates the users' sense of touch through vibration, motion, and forces, has enormous potential to make digital experiences more enriching and accessible.

In this session, we will explore the current state of haptics technology and dive into its applications for improving user experiences and accessibility in various digital contexts. We will also discuss the challenges and opportunities in integrating haptic technologies into WebApps and Native Apps.

Topics may include:

  • Current status of haptics APIs, hardware capabilities, and global standardization efforts in this field;

  • Experimental exploration in using haptics to convey non-visual information/experiences, such as directional navigation, notifications, etc;

  • Design considerations for using haptics in a way that works for diverse users and latest research achievements;

We welcome everyone to participate in this brainstorming session to explore how to make full use of haptic technologies and benefit the community.
