on multimodal interfaces where haptics is used as one of the interaction
modalities. I will introduce our projects doing basic and applied research on
haptics, and the latest developments on the use of haptics in mobile contexts.
Collaboration with Stanford University and UC Santa Barbara will also be
introduced.</span></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></h3>

font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Roope Raisamo received his Ph.D. in computer
science in 1999 at the University of Tampere. He has been doing research
on human-computer interaction since 1995 specializing in multimodal interaction
and constructive user interface research. Since 1998 he has worked as a full
professor at the University of Tampere, appointed in a permanent position in
2003. Prof. Raisamo has been the supervisor, examiner or reviewer of 7 Ph.D.
theses. He is the author for more than 70 articles in scientific journals and
conferences. His research interests are in the fields of haptic interaction,
bimanual interaction, multimodal information presentation, proactive and
intelligent environments and multimodal interfaces for the visually impaired
children. Since September 2004 he has been coordinating the MICOLE project
(Multimodal Collaboration Environment for Inclusion of Visually Impaired
Children), funded by the European Union. Presently he coordinates a joint
research project with Prof. Mark Cutkosky from Stanford, having active
collaboration with Nokia and other Finnish companies studying mobile
haptics.With UC Santa Barbara, there is a joint project focusing on multimodal
interaction in pervasive games, including gestures and computer vision.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
