A simulated 30° arthroscopic camera and multipurpose tool are provided with haptic feedback (Phantom® Omni™; SensAble Technologies).
They hold more charge in a lighter package than any other kind (lithium is the lightest metal) and they have boosted the performance of mobile phones, laptop computers, cameras and power tools, and made electric cars and even small electric aircraft practical.
As for current applications like sampling of ocean creatures, the setup could easily be enhanced with cameras and other tools or sensors.
In all cases, reporters held up their cameras and other tools of their trade, and carried photos of Espinosa as well as shots of cameras splattered with blood.
