Call for Papers

Asia Haptics calls three types of submissions, demonstrations, workshops and exhibitions.

Demonstrations

Your submission must include both a video portion and a short paper. For short paper, standard length is 2 pages and maximum length is 6 pages. After the conference, participants will see their papers published in the Springer series Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering from Springer (http://www.springer.com/series/7818), which will be accessible worldwide. Videos from accepted submissions will be uploaded to youtube, and will include a link to the paper (authors may choose not to upload). You can check the AsiaHaptics 2014 Video Archive for the last year's video uploades.

You may also choose not to publish . Accepted videos and papers will be made available to conference attendees via the electronic proceedings. Acceptance will be based on all submitted materials. The selection process includes reports by independent reviewers, followed by a jury selection process that will consider these reports as well as other criteria such as feasibility, and available space at the conference.
