Project Details
- "Smart-Tool is a new augmented-reality technology that uses real-time sensors and a haptic display to 'haptize' (enabling the sensation of touch) a dynamically changing real environment. In this application, the technology 'touches' the interface between two liquids."
- "Smart-Tool can assist by sensing the real environment and display haptic information. This force is not only a display method that alleviates interpretation of tactile information, but also supports the action of the user." An example of this would be a Smart-Tool enhanced surgical tool that could safe-guard vital tissues by producing a repulsive force in relative proximity.
