Within the framework of this project, the Division of Computer Graphics of the Leibniz Universität Hannover (Welfenlab) organizes a workshop on haptic and tactile perception. This year it is held together with the Cyberworlds 2007 International Conference. A second workshop on this conference will focus on "New Advances in Shape Analysis and Geometric Modeling". Topics of Interest - Human-Computer Interaction - Simulating the touch, the hearing and the vision in virtual worlds - Multimodal interaction system for presenting deformable materials - Presenting haptic feedback in multimodal interaction - Hardware for haptic/tactile interaction in virtual worlds - Haptic/tactile rendering - Modeling dynamics of deformable objects for haptic/tactile feedback - Dynamic simulation of soft tissues/deformable objects including textiles - Perception of material using haptic feedback - Applications of haptic/tactile interfaces for soft/deformable objects All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings. The best papers will be published in a special issue of "The Visual Computer". All submissions will be peer reviewed. Papers in English containing original and unpublished results are solicited.
