According to Sensable Technology, "Thomas Massie began building robot arms long before he had any ideas about touching computer data. While pursuing his bachelor's degree at MIT, Thomas Massie and Dr. Kenneth Salisbury, principal research scientist at MIT's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, sought a way to reach into the computer display to touch 3D data. Together they designed and built the first PHANTOM™ device. What began as a thesis project was validated when demand for the PHANTOM began to spread through MIT and the research communities of other leading institutions."
