About this episode

Scopemate is a robotic microscope that tracks the user for inspection microscopy. The novel input device combines an optically augmented web-cam with a head tracker. A head tracker controls the inspection angle of a webcam fitted with appropriate microscope optics. This allows an operator the full use of their hands while intuitively looking at the work area from different perspectives. By Cati Boulanger & Paul Dietz, Applied Sciences Group, Microsoft.
