Reach in and touch someone

Reach in and touch someone. Having a baby? Have money to burn? Think a video of your baby's ultrasound would just be so passe? Novint Technologies has developed a system that will let you "touch" your unborn child -- or at least a 3D ultrasound image of it.

Creepier still are their other medical applications -- especially the needle biopsy simulator and the dental training simulator. *shiver*

Ultrasound causes brain damage. This should put a crimp in Novints business.

I never realized handedness was a genetically-hardcoded trait until reading the article you linked, stbalbach. More info on the biology of handedness, from Discovery.com.
