The review's abstract enumerates these three additional benefits as background motivation. The supplied text reports no measurements supporting them; the claim is recorded as the authors' stated assertion, quoting "supporting distance learning, improving lab accessibility to handicapped people".

"Furthermore, they provide additional benefits such as supporting distance learning, improving lab accessibility to handicapped people, and increasing safety for dangerous experimentation."
