CALL FOR PAPERS
2023 IEEE World Haptics Conference
July 10-13 in Delft, The Netherlands
************************************************
The IEEE World Haptics Conference (WHC) is the premier international conference covering various aspects of haptics including scientific findings, technological developments, and applications. The conference is a vibrant environment for sharing the most up-to-date research advancements in the field of haptics, leading to new collaborations, fruitful scientific discussions, engagement of young researchers, and charting the future role of haptic technology in enhancing human life.
WHC is a joint gathering of the IEEE Haptics Symposium, the Eurohaptics conference, and the AsiaHaptics conference. WHC 2023 will be held in Delft from July 10 to 13, 2023. The conference will offer an exciting program including technical papers in oral and poster sessions, a Work-in-Progress session, demonstrations, industrial exhibits, workshops and tutorials, student innovation challenge, and other technical and social activities.
We seek original contributions on all topics in haptics and call for your active participation. WHC 2023 will follow a hybrid format but we ask that speakers and poster presenters join the conference in person. Virtual attendance will be possible for those unable to attend the conference physically. Oral presentations will be streamed online and virtual attendees will be able to interact with the speakers.
Types of Contributions:
Conference Technical Papers
Accepted papers will be presented and published in IEEE Xplore. The maximum paper length is 6 pages including references. Detailed instructions for authors will be available at https://2023.worldhaptics.org.
IEEE Transactions on Haptics (ToH) Short Papers
Authors can submit their 6-page (max) conference papers directly to the journal for consideration for publication as a short paper in ToH. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and published also in the journal. Papers not accepted by ToH will be referred to the Conference Editorial Board for their evaluation as technical papers to be presented at the conference. Detailed instructions for authors will be available at https://2023.worldhaptics.org.
Workshops and Tutorials
Workshops and tutorials provide a forum for participants to discuss emerging and active research areas.
Work-in-Progress Papers (WIP)
Highlighting late-breaking results and presented as posters, accepted WIP short papers will be published only in the electronic proceedings distributed to attendees. Authors retain the copyright for the future publication of extended work.
Hands-On Demonstrations
Interactive research demonstrations are highly valued at the IEEE World Haptics Conference. Presentation entails a brief proposal that will be reviewed to ensure relevance and novelty.

Location
The conference will be held in beautiful Delft, on the campus of the Delft University of Technology. A short distance from Rotterdam and The Hague, Delft is a popular tourist destination renowned for its lovely canals, its pedestrian-friendly city center, and its architecture. Delft has a rich history of scientific innovations, being the home of Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, the father of microbiology, and Reinier de Graaf who conducted pioneering research in medicine. Delft is also a place of art, famous for being home to the painter Jan Vermeer and for its blue pottery.
Delft is easily accessible from all over the world thanks to its direct connection to Schiphol airport (AMS), to nearby Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTM), or the Thalys train in Rotterdam.
