Xbox Kinect in the hospital operating room

[rockerhead09]

A Kinect application running on Ubuntu which is installed on a Macbook Pro.

And Windows? On the trash can I guess.

[fateswarning68]

why no mention about Ubuntu running the underlying operating system?

[Namelessone1991]

@fateswarning68 They hardly know the difference between windows 7 and vista, explaining to people what ubuntu is, would be too hard for the general masses, however I wish they mentioned it as well.

My right ear want's some lovin!

[XzithroX]

wanna know the cooolest thing about washington? they participated in making the kinect and in the city i live in theyy invented a robot used by the kinect!

[Justice4x]

he's using Ubuntu on ROS

[Anth0nyRey]

they are using linux lol

[manco82]

Who cares if MS ripped off someone's original idea, Kinect is the BEST to MARKET. Same as Apple with their devices.

[Bringmethehorizonify]

just never let kinect perform any operations. if that shit loses connection.

My right ear is lonely :(

[prince27full]

the better is the macbook with microsoft kinect

[crazycheeseG]

Well BAM here it is!!!

[dreamihad]

I don't get how people are hatting on this , This is a very good thing , I'd prefer my doc to use Kinect to switch slides if im right in the middle of surgery , then for him to wast time sanitising over and over again

[Islefan24]

Thats right tumor, get PWNED

[Dweb98]

That's great!:) You can also use a Web Cam and Use Any Object To Control Your Computer. donsdeals.blogspot.com/2010/03­/use-any-object-to-control-you­r-computer.html and here's a Video, youtube.com/watch?v=cH_cWF8DoX­k

Last year, I submit a project to Imagine cup thailand , it name "Mr.i".

it does not people to support on this idea to integrate a technology into a hospital.

I using a kinect to control a 3D image of mri image. user can see a surface of 3D model and a stack of image.

However, it does not have a people to effort on the prototype to build in a commercial.

[bridonolaw]

i think this is incredible. gaming has taken new heights

[dinnerplatejack]

This is brilliant! One of the most exciting spin-offs of Kinect technology I've seen. Surgeons are totally going to get hooked on this stuff...

[grindinblade1080]

Wow you guys don't get sterile fields do you? Surgeons can't touch ANYTHING, else the need to deglove to prevent infection. This actually looks like an amazing idea for an operating room, I'll have to see if we can get one.

[HiralShah00]

Just an excuse to buy a kinect. I'm pretty sure they're taking it back to their house and hooking it up to their xbox during the off days

[ThinkStage]

Very cool

Kinect for Pc already?

[LuanTheL]

@rospower1996 never!

[ashugtiwari]

@NutEgg777 Microsoft is not the one to make this idea. Clear ur history this has been introduced way back by Sony but did not got so much appreciation so sony dropped it. Search for PS2 eyetoy on google, thats where idea came to existance. MS stole that idea and made something that works just OK not even well. In gaming the kinect sucks. Plz dont play with lives. Better produce a tech to intaract with images like u do with touch screen as of u see in iron man movie

[chovixnator017]

@ashugtiwari i dont know whut the heck is your problem, the idea is great.. and if this dont work, they'll just make something that could work to help people.. Kinect is a very good add to tech, i think we could use it for many thing too.. why are you so mad about this?

[ashugtiwari]

@chovixnator017 1.MS is theif, its not MS but sony's idea(anyway thats diff story),2.if u r trying to analyze by standing far away from screen is not only complicated but almost diff to do until u can touch the image, just try some kinect or PS eyetoy games. For gaming it does not matter but for app like healthcare and aerospace its better to have either touch screen or image projection on real world using light(may be its too complicated but easily adapted in any application without any diff.

[chovixnator017]

@ashugtiwari but that is something you think could happen.. what i see as a fact is a doctor very happy seeing a way to do his work more easy and more effective, WHO created the tech is irrelevant, you are not seeing the good side of this all for your hate to ms.. if this works for a doctor, GREAT! if not, somebody will create the correct tool, but the important thing is how this could help for people.. and thats what your are not looking

[Elementroar]

@ashugtiwari LOL

[romoboy64]

@ashugtiwari actually microsoft bought the system from an isreali missile program.. not sony.

[Luis11717]

@NutEgg777 YAY! Let's use new technologies to keep killing our species! WHOO! 

[Sazad93]

@NutEgg777 well that would also mean that the bullet would need some form of engine to push it in the direction of the person being shot, or if fired at a close enough range some method of navigation that would direct it towards the target. a very small processor for the quick intake and output of the information. now what I've describe is no longer a bullet, its a missile just a a really small one. Efforts better used to create something that would prevent death and wars imo.

[wiitarded23]

Can't wait for those embarrassing photos after the surgery.

[thadude1337]

smart idea been around for a few years microsoft was the first to commercials it but it still needed 2 engineers and a doctor to make it work for this and then u need to sell the idea and train people in it or else it will just be him and no1 else using this obviously better idea

[sub548]

Fucking SMART!

[amicoIcarCnr]

Excellent work. We have worked on the same technology. So fare, we have integrated a full controller-free Kinect-based user interface for medical image exploration in an open-source DICOM viewer.

[jjf4201]

The drivers that are running the kinect were not released by Microsoft but yet Microsoft gets credit? This is another example of why the world needs to wake up and realize that this is another fine example of the open source movement taking what Microsoft has messed up and making it better

[markuskeats]

@jjf4201 of course they get credit.. they're using the Kinect; technology that was created by Microsoft. Jamie Tremaine, one of the engineers that worked to make this possible, credited MS for making the technology available. I quote: "For $150 dollars you can get a depth camera that's capable of real-time motion capture, that used to cost $8000-$150,000..." ----And you would be naive to think that those engineers are keeping that open source and free. They are going to cash in on this one day.

[plankytronixx]

@jjf4201

Heard of "standing on the shoulders of giants"? Like what Linus Torvalds did with Dennis Ritchie? OSS does take what other people have done and build on it. True. Just like eveybody else.

[Mau5xArjayy]

What's next? Controlling people with the Kinect?
