RIP, Stephanie Kwolek. “I love learning and I’m love learning new things, making discoveries… while her mother encourage creativity and even a future in fashion design, her father was a naturalist and inspired stephanie’s curiosity about the outdoors. I had a father who was very much interested and plants and trees. I spent a lot of time just roaming ...

The team’s approach uses a haptic device called Falcon, which vibrates and moves to allow users to “feel” virtual objects. Originally developed for 3D gaming, Falcon is a cross between a joystick and a mouse. ...
