Scientists Meet Scientists – TUM-IAS Wednesday Coffee Talk by Eckehard Steinbach on “Bringing Remote Touch to Life: Enabling Tactile Experiences over the Internet“
Events, WCT |
On 22 January 2025, Prof. Eckehard Steinbach (Media Technology, TUM) will talk about “Bringing Remote Touch to Life: Enabling Tactile Experiences over the Internet.”
Abstract: The Tactile Internet promises to revolutionize how we interact with remote environments by enabling users to physically explore distant locations and share their skills across vast distances. Achieving this vision requires overcoming significant challenges in the acquisition, compression, transmission, and display of haptic information. In this talk, I will discuss our work on capturing, representing, and rendering haptic characteristics of objects, with an emphasis on the fundamental principles and cutting-edge advancements in haptic codec design for the Tactile Internet. I will also provide a brief overview of the newly completed IEEE 1918.1.1-2024 standard, spearheaded by TUM, which defines the first set of codecs for the seamless exchange of kinesthetic and tactile data across communication networks.

THE TUM-IAS WEDNESDAY COFFEE TALKS
Every Wednesday after lunch, it's all about a new topic - current research highlights at TUM, insights into the work of our Fellows from all over the world, sometimes even topics not usually found at TUM, such as history or theology.
The talks held online start every Wednesday during TUM lecture time at 13:00 CE(S)T. Everyone is welcome - TUM researchers of all levels, students, visiting scholars, and anyone interested!
Each final Wednesday of the month, a topic related to the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals will be featured as a part of the Seminar Series of European Universities on Sustainability, a new initiative of the TUM-IAS in partnership with universities across Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe.
