[Air-L] Symmetries of Touch International Workshop, Bauhaus-University Weimar, Oct 5-7

[Parisi, David P]

Hi all,

This event will be running concurrently with the AoIR conference in Berlin next week--might be worth the train ride to Weimar for part of it, if you're interested in haptics/HCI.  Siegfried Zielinski's kicking things off on Wednesday afternoon, and Mark Paterson's on tap to discuss haptics and disability on the Friday morning panel--see the full program below.   Organized by Henning Schmigden and  Rebekka Ladewig.  If not in Weimar, hope to connect with folks from AoIR  in Berlin on Saturday...
