*Apologies for cross-posting* *Call for papers - Special Issue on "Haptics for the Arts" * *IEEE Transactions on Haptics* *https://www.ieee-ras.org/publications/toh/special-issues <https://www.ieee-ras.org/publications/toh/special-issues>* In the last two decades, we have witnessed the development of many innovative devices and original techniques for providing haptic sensations in artistic settings. This includes the tactile enrichment of music listening and performance experiences, haptic soundscapes, interactive installations leveraging tactile interfaces, immersive multimedia experiences exploring the nuances of touch, or the haptic enhancement of digital musical instruments. There is a growing interest in the haptics community in investigating interfaces and perceptual phenomena at the confluence of art and haptics, as demonstrated by the Art & Design Track at the 2024 Eurohaptics conference. New system perspectives are needed to develop the next generation of haptic interfaces for artistic contexts, which pose significant challenges at the technical and perceptual levels. Overcoming these challenges requires a transdisciplinary approach, involving engineering, human-computer interaction, performance studies, and the arts in general. Generating a dialogue between these research fields will be beneficial for obtaining innovative results in constructing future haptic interfaces for artistic usages. The intent of this special issue is to define a promising road-map for the development of future haptic interfaces for artistic contexts, pushing the boundaries of haptic exploration and offering unique perspectives that blend technological innovation with sensory engagement. We invite technically rigorous submissions that challenge, provoke, and expand these frontiers. Submissions that neglect to rigorously explore the links between the arts and at least one of the fields of engineering, computer science, or human-computer interaction will not be considered. Topics of interest include and are not limited to: - Haptic modeling, rendering, algorithms, and systems for the arts - Haptic interaction techniques and methods for the arts - Haptic hardware for the arts, including XR and multimodal/wearable displays - Perceptual, behavioral, and cognitive studies on haptics in arts - Data-driven approaches for haptic artistic representations - AI applications for haptics in the arts, including use of explainable or generative AI - Perceptual, behavioral, and cognitive studies that demonstrate user impact of haptics in the arts - Empirical studies that demonstrate the roles and effects of haptics in interaction with artwork - Installation art with haptic technologies, including haptic soundscapes - Musical haptics for performers and/or audiences - Haptic technology for creativity support - Affective haptics for the arts Submission instructions We welcome top-quality original (unpublished) articles.

Please note that we might propose modifications and augmentations, such as suggesting that workshops be combined where appropriate. The workshop should address timely topics and phenomena; therefore, it depends on the year in which topics are considered particularly relevant and interesting. The space and technical limitations will also influence the number and form of the selected workshops. * Workshop Chairs * Yasmeen Abdrabou Mark Colley
