Aguemented Medicine
The medical field has been working on augmentation products to assist medical students learn where parts of the body are, as well as to how to perform surgery. Besides just showing digital organs and bones these augmented demonstration can stimulate real time surgery. They add haptic feedback to these scenarios with the use of vibrations to assist in telling the student whether they are touching body parts with to much force.
Ultrahaptics
“Ultrahaptics is working to create the most remarkable connection between people and technology. By using ultrasound to project sensations onto a hand, Ultrahaptics is pushing through an era of change and allowing people to feel and control technology like never before. From invisible buttons and dials that you feel when you need them, through to tangible interfaces that track your hand, this elegant and simple technology was created using complex mathematics yet is based on human nature.�

How can we use touch feedback to create a cleaner healthier environment ?
How can we make hospitals rooms less mechanical?
How can we reduce the need for pressure senstive buttons?
Imagine having hospital rooms with less bulky equipment, less big monitors with buttons and switches. What if it was just a screen that the doctor or nurse waved her hand over to control inputs. Ultra haptics has the ability to do this, and not only would it reduce the size of hospital, it would not need to be touched drastically reducing the spreading and growth of germs. Allowing for a cleaner and safer environment to heal and get back to health.
