A slip of the scalpel can be unforgiving in even the most skilled surgeon’s hands. To complement this tool that has not changed much since ancient times, there is a need for technologies that allow us to explore the intricacies of the human body—even before we pick up the scalpel. The Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ Digital Pen is designed to provide professionals, like surgeons, a revolutionary new tool to map objects in 3D and assess critical data points before making a critical cut or an irreversible move. Working like a stylus in medical applications and beyond, the innovative Qualcomm Snapdragon Digital Pen allows the user to control movements in and out of objects, rotate them in 3D, and click to take a ‘snapshot’ of critical points and record comments. It utilizes ultrasound technology to go beyond the screen and work across external surfaces. GlobalLogic was tasked with taking this amazing new technology, the ability to inspect objects with a 3D orientation, to create a meaningful product with identifiable end users.
