Haptic technology with a traditional writing/drawing tool (marker pen, ballpoint pen, etc.). The first method to realise this was proposed in RealPen Project. Future applications of haptic technology cover a wide spectrum of human interaction with technology. Current (from 2013) research focuses on the mastery of tactile interaction with holograms and distant objects, which if successful may result in applications and advancements in gaming, movies, manufacturing, medical, and other industries. The medical industry stands to gain from virtual and telepresence surgeries, which provide new options for medical care. The clothing retail industry could gain from haptic technology by allowing users to "feel"
