Haptics Industry Forum is a group of entities in the haptic technology industry that includes hardware manufacturers, middleware providers, application developers, and others who work across all levels of the haptic technology stack. We are committed to standardizing haptics to address common problems our industry faces, including interoperability (breaking down “walled gardens” for content creators and users alike), licensing, quality and performance metrics, APIs, codecs, and more. We look forward to collaborating with each other, both within and outside standards development organizations (SDOs), to foster a growing haptic ecosystem that benefits all.
