Very nice.

I look forward to the article.

Interesting human factors can arise. Some years ago, I worked with an experimental high-resolution system for pathological examinations. We used a high-resolution touch screen.

For some reasons, physicians, who were very supportive of the project, were very reluctant to use the touch screen. Eventually, we found the problem: it was sufficiently photo-realistic that the tissue samples looked real to them, and subconsciously triggered their conditioning about ever touching tissue with bare hands. Once we gave them a light pen (or let them put on rubber gloves), it became user-friendly.
