Acknowledgements Over the course of this project we have received the display system as well as in constructing the prototype itself. We would like to thank Fons Verbeek and Hanna Schraffenberger, who supervised the development of this project from the start. We also want to thank Georgios Lampropoulos, Bram Snijders, Livia Teernstra, Meggy Pepelanova and Isabelle Kniestedt for the support they gave us whenever we were in need of a helping hand.
