Ultrasound technologies have been widely used in gynecology and obstetrics. Modern ultrasound systems allow the reconstruction of a 3D model of the subject being scanned, but even though visual interfaces have reached very high standards, the problem of representing a 3D image on a 2D computer screen still exists. Moreover no physical interaction is possible with such a model. The FeTouch system, developed at Siena University in the last two years, partially solves such issues by using stereo visual feedback and haptic devices. While the system can be used with any 3D model obtained from ultrasound scans, its current prime use is to allow mothers to interact with a model of the fetus they are carrying. The system is freely available on the project web page.
超声技术已在妇产科中广泛应用。现代超声系统能够重建被扫描对象的三维模型，尽管视觉界面已达到很高标准，但在二维计算机屏幕上呈现三维图像的问题依然存在。此外，无法与这样的模型进行物理交互。锡耶纳大学在过去两年开发的FeTouch系统，通过使用立体视觉反馈和触觉设备部分解决了此类问题。虽然该系统可与从超声扫描获得的任何三维模型配合使用，但其目前的主要用途是让母亲与她们腹中胎儿的模型进行交互。该系统可在项目网页上免费获取。
