When presenting their paper “Spatial Haptics: A Sensory Substitution Method for Distal Object Detection Using Tactile Cues” at CHI2025,  Rainer Malaka and Iddo Wald discussed with ACM President Yannis Ioannidis about the related application and the question on how vibro-tactile feedback can be used to detect the localization of an object in 3D space. With Iddos support Mr. Ioannidis directly tested the application himself.

Our colleagues Rainer Malaka, Thomas E?meier (Mildner) and Iddo Wald represented us there with a total of three papers and a Special Interest Group (SIG).

What a successful result for you!
