Oral Sessions
The 2016 IEEE Haptics Symposium will include presentation of 52 full-length technical papers. Selected from 106 submissions, these five-to-eight-page archival papers were rigorously reviewed our Program Committee and several external reviewers. The 18 most highly rated papers were assigned to single-track oral sessions, and the others were assigned to dual-track oral sessions.
Each technical paper will be presented via a twelve-minute talk followed by two minutes of questions from the audience. We have exactly fifteen minutes allocated for each talk, including one minute to change speakers, and we will keep strictly to this schedule.
