For example, a clip plane can be easily and precisely positioned within 3D data, which is a particularly difficult problem with a mouse. A measurement tool can be quickly and accurately positioned in 3D space exactly where a measurement is desired. Touch feedback provides both precision and confirmation, even when data is obscured in 3D. Users can apply touch control to tools such as a paintbrush or carving tool to allow artistry that is impossible with a mouse. An e-Touch object can be seen, felt, and heard. An object can be picked up and manipulated in all six degrees of freedom, its weight and textures can be felt, its visual texture and shading can be seen, and it can be heard when tapped or dropped on the floor.
Objects can also have properties.
They can have dynamics or movement properties, can be animated, or can interact with other objects or the digital world.
