Scopemate
A tracking inspection microscope
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 his or her hands while intuitively looking at the work area from different perspectives.



Scopemate was presented and demonstrated at UIST 2011 in October, 2011.
