Dear colleagues
Preparations for HAID 2022 in London on August 25 & 26 are in full swing. We look forward to welcoming those attending to London!
We are now searching for volunteers to organise and host next editions. We would like to announce the next HAID Workshop(s) before the end of HAID 2022.
Where we are today:
As organisers and program chairs of HAID 2022, we put emphasis on growing the community further, but also in a more sustainable way, engaging for the first time key scientific stakeholders (IEEE Technical Committee on Haptics, EuroHaptics Society, Audio Engineering Society) and an advisory board of international experts. A ``Work in Progress'' initiative was also introduced to increase inclusiveness of the community.
Despite challenges posed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, both in terms of conducting haptics-based research and resuming international travel, HAID 2022 received a total of 19 full paper submissions, a more than twofold increase from the 2019 and 2020 editions. Thirteen papers were eventually accepted through a rigorous single-blind, two-layer peer review process.
Alongside these 13 papers, the scientific program of HAID 2022 will include 8 interactive demos (9 proposals were received with one rejected), 6 work-in-progress posters (2 were re-submissions from the full paper track), 2 research workshops, and 2 tutorials.
Where can we go from here?
In the years since HAID was founded, many haptics conferences have been established: IEEE Haptics Symposium + EuroHaptics + Asia Haptics all take place during “even” years (..., 2022, 2024, …) while World Haptics happens every other year in between (..., 2021, 2023, 2025, …). For HAID to survive and continue growing sustainably, it might be worth considering that it is held biennially, most reasonably on “odd” years so that its “only competition” is World Haptics. This is something we wish we had considered more carefully this year.
We thus suggest two options for the next editions:

1. We aim for the next HAID to be in 2023 and then again in 2025, 2027, etc.
2. We skip 2023 and aim for the next HAID to be in 2025 and then again in 2027, etc.
We would love your input on these thoughts. If you are interested in hosting the next HAID (or one of the next), please send a message to haid...@qmul.ac.uk.
