Augmented Reality Magic Mirror using Kinect

[BubuSnow93]

cooooool

[weirdos5en]

COOL!!!

[adibfara]

i think it would be better if it showed ur whole body skeleton . however this is still cool :D good job

[fibbrokkio]

FAKE

[AlpatheDon7]

Damn;)

[FuckMeBlind69]

KINECT - it only does EVERYTHING!!!!

[yanivcogan1]

awasome- but does it shows you your own skeleton from a CT scaning or a model of a regular person.

because I dont want to do a CT

[blum80]

@yanivcogan1 At the moment it shows the CT of another person. When we use it for educational purposes we would only use CT of other persons

[aptivaasdf]

I love how its an university research development centre that hacked the kinect.

[brissac1993]

mentira da porra

[WrongMovie]

Mortal Kombat :DDDDDDDD

[jonamato]

Is the plan to use this as a medical tool with a patients ct scan in real time?

Even as is; it would be amazing at a doctors office.. it would be a lot more fun than waiting and possibly educational if bones were labeled... then you can move on to organs!

[campTUM]

@jonamato For this magic mirror we do not want to use CT data of the same patient. This is more for educational use. However we have other projects where we use a head-mounted display to allow overlay of CT data of the same patient to assist surgery (see the other videos in our channel)

[mastahunt]

fake xray lol

[gamehero77]

That's pretty awesome! I knew someone would do this sooner or later

[joaomonteiro10]

lame!

[captainpiccard]

im not buying a kinect now.. the xray radiation must make you really sick after a while... trololololololol....

[JihadOfTheSoul]

@captainpiccard

Haha

[ExtremeGamer666]

play go dj by lil wayne while watching this.

[therealsuperhobo]

I'm afraid your spine is severely dislocated.

[CaptainUkraine]

i am not catch the one thing: it shows real skeleton or just images?

[TheDankGoat]

@CaptainUkraine It uses kinect's built in x-ray diffraction system...real images

[campTUM]

@CaptainUkraine It shows a skeleton from a 3D CT volume. The 2D image overlay is computed in real-time from the CT volume. However the CT is from another person.

[LBTennis]

@CaptainUkraine Dumbest question of 2011. Congrats and better luck next year

[dcalpha007]

@CaptainUkraine The Kinect has a variety of sensors, including Standard Prismatic, Infrared, and X-Ray. The skeletal imaging in the video is a real-time rendering of the subject's skeletal structure.

[TheNotoriousRJHP]

Now just to find a practical use

[l2ic3]

@TheNotoriousRJHP Are you kidding me....? You're not very creative if you can't think of a million uses for this. Visualizing muscles, organs, or bones of a subject in real-time could be used in so many ways. Could be used to train doctors obviously, or in workout training to show which muscles you are actually using per workout, and how much you are working them.

[Oathblivion]

I wonder if you could link two or more Kinects and get better 3-D tracking? I would assume labs have already tried this, but with this system, it might put more advanced augmented reality tech in the hands of non-experts.

[campTUM]

@Oathblivion Using two kinect could certainly improve the tracking. But at the moment we are trying to solve some other problems that are more important. First, the CT data does not exactly fit to the person in front of the screen. And the CT is rigid. I think we have to solve these things before improving the tracking.

[LeoPals357]

Is this really all the Kinect is handing out at the moment...

[stripgaga]

oh my god i can see a cg skeleton, i think that just made me a doctor now i'm so smart. open a fucking text book you lazy fuck

[jimday666]

excellent work mate! keep up the good work.

[SuperHarry555]

doctors won't call this cheap! ;D

[aaichert]

@InaudibleWhisper The suggested application is to study anatomy, ie. to understand where in the body certain structures are located. Having just a small "window" into the body makes it easier to understand depth and location in the context of the real body.

In this demo the bones from the CT are rigid. So overlay is correct only at the torso when arms and legs are not in focus (plus,Tobias' spine doesn't bend too much)

[theknowbody]

That's impressive!

[crackface5]

dumb

[InaudibleWhisper]

How about taking a picture of the environment in front of Kinect and having the skeletal data rendered on top of it so that you truly look see-through. Similar to the predator-esque invisibility Kinect hack, but with the skeletal data.

[Johnystoo1]

show it, then break a bone and show me again (without cutting the footage) then i'll be impressed

[Snotnarok]

Impressive. 

[chickenpoper]

dont go to high there Mr. geek people might see your wee little wee wee

[ghost5487]

fail

[zeemon79]

Pretty cool! Nice work!

[tumchenxin]

cool!
