Working Toward a Standardized Haptic Coding Format

By Yeshwant Muthusamy, Senior Director, Standards, at Immersion Corp.


This article looks at the MPEG Draft Call for Proposals on the Coded Representation of Haptics, which is intended to standardize a haptics coding format and a decoder.

Draft Call for Proposals (CfP) on the Coded Representation of Haptics. In their press release announcing it, MPEG characterized the CfP as a “call for technologies that enable efficient representation and compression of time-dependent haptic signals and are suitable for the coding of timed haptic tracks that can be synchronized with audio and/or video media.” Read more about the Draft Call for Proposals in Electronic Design here:
