COVID-19: WHC 2021 was originally planned to take place in Montreal, Canada from July 6 to 9, 2021. Due to the global long-term uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and to ensure the well-being of the participants, WHC 2021 will be held as a virtual conference. This decision was made after extensive consultations with the haptics community and the stakeholders. Rest assured, we are committed to utilizing various virtualization tools available to offer an engaging program filled with exciting technical and social activities.
