Welcome to the proceedingsofEuroHaptics 2010. EuroHapticsis the majorinter- tional conference and the primary European meeting for researchersin the ?eld of - man hapticsensing and touch-enabled computer applications. We were proudtohave received more submissions for presentations, demonstrations and special sessions than ever before. This shows that the topic and the conference'squality and approach appeal to anincreasing number of researchers and companies. We received more than 200 submissions for oral and poster presentations, demos and pre-conference special workshops. A team of 25 associate editors and 241 revi- ers read the submissions and advised the fourvolume editors. We owe the associate - itors and reviewers many thanks. We accepted 43 submissions as oral and 80 as poster presentations, 7 pre-conference workshops were approved and more than 20 demos could be experienced'hands-on’ during the conference. The proceedings containall oral and poster presentation papers. No distinction between the two presentation types was made because selection was noton the basisofsubmission quality but on relevance for a broad audience. We were proud to add three distinguished keynote speakers to the conference program: Mark Ernst, Rosalyn Driscoll andPatrick van der Smagt.
