IEEE Transactions on Haptics (ToH) is a scholarly archival journal that addresses the science, technology and applications associated with information acquisition and object manipulation through touch. Haptic interactions relevant to this journal include all aspects of manual exploration and manipulation of objects by humans, machines and interactions between the two, performed in real, virtual, teleoperated or networked environments.

Research areas of relevance to this publication include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

    Human haptic and multi-sensory perception and action
    Aspects of motor control that explicitly pertain to human haptics
    Haptic interactions via passive or active tools and machines
    Devices that sense, enable, or create haptic interactions locally or at a distance
    Haptic rendering and its association with graphic and auditory rendering in virtual reality
    Algorithms, controls, and dynamics of haptic devices, users, and interactions between the two
    Human-machine performance and safety with haptic feedback
    Haptics in the context of human-computer interactions
    Systems and networks using haptic devices and interactions, including multi-modal feedback
    Application of the above, for example in areas such as education, rehabilitation, medicine, computer-aided design, skills training, computer games, driver controls, simulation and visualization.
