I am honoured to announce that I have been promoted to the rank of Full Professor in Mechatronics at UiA - University of Agder. I would like to thank all my colleagues and students that contributed to this achievement. I am also very grateful to my family and friends! This journey started at Università degli Studi di Catania and Ulster University (BSc), next Università degli Studi di Siena and University of Hamburg (MSc), then NTNU - Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Today, we had the opportunity to present the latest results of AugmentedWearEdu at the Digital Skills for Education & Culture Workshop. Thank you to all the team! The main objective of AugmentedWearEdu is to introduce a novel framework for e-Learning consisting of including haptic experiences to enable digital access to laboratories in higher education. This will be achieved by combining both virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) tools with a novel generation of wearable haptic de

Our PhD Fellow, Saishashank Balaji, delivered his talk at the PhD Forum, University of Agder (UiA), Norway. It is very engaging and motivating to see the progress about engineering touch. Looking forward to the next steps and to collaborate with all our partners.

We have a brand new haptic device at the Top Research Centre Mechatronics (TRCM), University of Agder (UiA), Norway. The WEART TouchDIVER device has just arrived. We would like to especially thank Guido Gioioso and Francesco Abbo for the support. We would also like to thank Domenico Prattichizzo for the inspiring collaboration. WEART connects digital and physical worlds by adding the one sense that is missing: TOUCH. Live a truly immersive VR experience and touch digital objects as you would

Congratulations to all the team at CIEM - Centre for Integrated Emergency Management which is now a priority research centre at University of Agder (UiA). It's a pleasure to be a part of this great research environment. Daniel Romero and I lead the cluster Technologies for Augmenting Response Capabilities in Emergency Management Operations at CIEM.
