Description:
MagniFinger is a fingertip-worn microscopy device that augments the limited abilities of human visual and tactile sensory systems in micrometer-scale environments. MagniFinger makes use of the finger’s dexterous motor skills to achieve precise and intuitive control while allowing the user to observe the desired position by placing a fingertip.
