Mandate: Haptic actuators are complex dynamic mechatronic systems whose application in complete touch-systems and the prediction of the resulting outcome is not trivial. The goal of the SPEVA working-group is to align and define technology-independent methods of specification, quantification and application of vibrotactile actuators. This effort will result in a reduction of experimental iterations for haptic system designers, and therefore enable a faster and less expensive time-to-market for high quality devices with active tactile feedback
