> Haptic devices allow users to feel their interfaces and
>interactions
>and
> have the potential to radically change the way we use
>computers. We
>will be
> able to use our powerful sense of touch as an alternative
>mechanism
>to send
> and receive information in computer interfaces. Haptic
>technology is
>now
> maturing and coming out of research laboratories and into real
>products and
> applications. We can therefore begin to focus on its
>application and
>
> general principles for its use rather than just the hardware
>and
>technology
> itself. One important question is what should it be used for?
>
> The aim of the workshop is to concentrate on interaction using
>haptic
> devices. Haptic interaction is interaction related to the sense
>of
>touch -
> this could be based on force-feedback or tactile devices. We
>want to
>be as
> flexible as possible so we will accept work on any aspects of
>haptic
>HCI.
> There are other conferences that discuss the hardware but so
>far
>there has
> been little discussion of how haptics can be effectively used
>to
>improve
> the usability of human-computer interactions.
>
> What are haptics good for? What kind of information can be
>successfully
> presented via touch? Do haptics actually improve efficiency,
>effectiveness
> and satisfaction? Arbitrary combinations of information
>presented to
>
> different senses have been shown to be ineffective. How should
>sight,
> hearing and touch be combined in truly multimodal interfaces?
>We do
>not
> want to end up with haptically-enhanced interfaces that are in
>fact
>harder
> to use than standard ones - haptics may become just a gimmick
>for
>computer
> games, rather than the key improvement in interaction
>technology
>that it
> should be. It is therefore time to think about haptic human
>computer
>
> interaction.
