In April 2012, SensAble Technologies Inc was acquired by Geomagic. SensAble Technologies is focused to work in the human-computer interface by bringing 3D Touch(tm) to the desktop. Spun ot of MIT and formerly known as Sensible Devices, the firm has developed and commercialized technology that allows users to interact with the computerusing the sense of touch. The ability of desktop computers to run powerful, 3D professional software has far outstripped users' ability to effectively work in 3D. The aging, 2D mouse interface has become a primary bottleneck to professional productivity in product design, animation, data analysis, medical simulation and other areas. SensAble's award-winning system, which is based on the PHANTOM(tm) interface hardware, allows users to create, touch and manipulate 3D digital objects with amazing realism. SensAble's 3D Touch technology allows doctors to touch and feel virtual tissue, sculptors to create and modify models, and designers to refine and evaluate designs
