Jörg Reisinger is AE-Engineer and Enabling Technology Owner for haptics and haptic technologies at Mercedes-Benz AG. Besides haptic specification and internal consulting of several departments, he is responsible for new haptic technologies and concepts, transferring and guiding them into serial production. Since 2008, he introduced a new haptic quality level of controls, as well as new active haptic systems like the Mercedes-Benz touchpads and the haptic touchscreens, like the popular MB Hyperscreen. His doctoral thesis dealt with the objective parameters of haptically perceived quality of control elements, for which he received the doctoral degree in mechanical engineering at TU Munich in 2009 in cooperation with Audi AG and Heilbronn University.

Chase Tymms is a research scientist at Meta Reality Labs Research, working on haptic and multisensory perception research for augmented and virtual reality interactions. At Meta, Chase's research has included the development of haptic wearable devices, haptic rendering algorithms, and sample-efficient experimentation methods for modeling human perception. Before joining Meta in 2019, Chase earned a Ph.D. in computer science from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, with a doctoral thesis on tactile roughness perception and geometry optimization for tactile fabrication.
