Dr. William Bithoney, physician-in-chief at St. Joseph's Children's Hospital
in Paterson, NJ, envisions examining patients hundreds or thousands of miles
away while "virtually" feeling the same bumps, lumps, and other anomalies
that a bedside doctor feels. That simulated tactical sensation may soon be
made possible through haptic technology.

hand, such as how much each joint bends, is used by aerospace manufacturers
and automakers.
