Scheme of the set-up used for HCM with a visual feedback using Oculus Rift virtual reality goggles (ORt). VICON 3D tracking system with two IR cameras follows the position of the VICON Apex device. VICON Apex has a dodecahedral shape, on the surface of which multiple sources of IR light are installed. The emitted IR light is registered by the cameras that compose an image from which the VICON software reconstructs the position and the orientation (not used in the experiment) of the Apex device in 3D space. The obtained coordinates x,y,z are used to set the position of the AFM/STM tip. The same coordinates are used to plot 3D trajectories in the virtual space of (ORt).
