This work was developed in the Renato Archer Center for Information Technogy - CTI (www.cti.gov.br) in Campinas - SP, Brazil (3D Technologies Division) published at the 5th International Conference on Advanced Research in Virtual and Rapid Prototyping (VRAP2001).

The system allows the surgeon to control the medical imaging software InVesalius (also developed by CTI) without any physical contact, just by hand gestures. The system uses the OpenNI/NITE framework and is cross-platform (Windows/Linux).

  • Nice work. It seems you map the hand/arm movements to the mouse position, and than use that position to rotate, zoom, etc. (by using default interactors).

    We also are working in the same field. This is a video of our Kinect-based interface foe medical image exploration: .../watch?v=CsIK8D4RLtY

  • @amicoIcarCnr Thank you. You are correct. We use default interactors using virtual mouse events. Congrats for your work too. I'd like to share more information with you. Could you email me? My email is in the end of the video. Tks

  • you cant take your hands above your chest in operation theater so you fail.. ;)

  • @gtkami What do you mean?? This system has been used in 4 surgeries already, and the surgeons did put the hands above the chest. Nobody ever mentioned such restriction. So maybe you fail!!! :-)

see all

  • @gtkami and @gcsruppert: the aseptic guidelines released by AORN are your best guide as to the generally accepted rules while scrubbed. Raising your hands above your head puts you at greater risk for contamination from things like the overhead lights or your scrub cap, but isn't the end of the world. That being said, the motion should definitely be minimized. :)

    @gcsruppert, what kind of surgeries have you guys been testing your system in?

  • Sure
