CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, you are invited to participate
in IEEE WHC 2019 to be held in Tokyo, JAPAN   July 9-12, 2019 . In
recent years, we have witnessed the rapid evolution of haptics
research.  Fundamental understanding of touch perception, technologies
for interface via haptics, and commercial applications, are all
burgeoning.  IEEE World Haptics is the premier conference for
reporting research results and demonstrating novel capabilities in the
field of haptics. There are many ways to participate in the conference
including the submission of full-length technical papers,
late-breaking work-in-progress papers, demonstrations, and design
track; participation in Cross-cutting Challenge (CCC) and workshops;
and exhibition of commercial offerings.  Corporations are also
encouraged to consider sponsorship opportunities as a means of both
supporting this dynamic community and maintaining visibility within
it.

TALKS & INTERACTIVE SESSION
All technical paper sessions at WHC 2019 will have a new format:
10-minute talks for accepted papers nominated for an award, 3-minute
blitz pitches for all other accepted papers, followed by an
interactive session of 120 minutes for all accepted papers held in the
same session room.

TOPICS
The conference welcomes original contributions related to any topics
of haptics. Topics of interest include:

Haptic interface design and control
Tactile displays
Sensors and actuators
Human-computer interaction
Multi-modal systems
Virtual and augmented reality
