Kinect used by surgeons in new UK research project
The project involves using a software program that takes the 3D image of a patient’s anatomy. The program then makes several 2D images out of that 3D creation. With the help of Kinect, a surgeon can them manipulate those 2D images of his or her patient via gesture or voice command.
How is this helpful to doctors? Well, if you have seen any of the tons of medical shows on TV, you know that they have to scrub their hands and maintain sterility. Using the computer program powered by the Kinect technology should allow surgeons to help maintain a sterile environment in the operating room. The program could also eliminate the need for so many assistants in the room as well.
At the moment, the test program is being conducted at St Thomas’ Hospital for vascular patients. It is hoped that the Kinect-based technology could be expanded in the future to let doctors manipulate 3D models and even assist in neurosurgery.

RacistDubbleScantyDubble Couldnt this be dangerous? i mean if the kinect messed up or something that would be pretty bad!
Of course. I personally wouldn't do surgery on ANYONE with such a device. It's not even THAT good for games in terms of picking up your body on screen, I definitely wouldn't trust it to help me save someones life.
Its pretty scary that they would even condone using something so unreliable in surgery
What if it gets the RRoD?
you dumbass.

This seems way to sketchy. What if someone walks into the room and says something and it goes crazy and cuts the wrong body part or what if the doctor gets tired. And this would take away the feeling that you are dealing with a living thing on the other end.

I'm pretty sure they will have back ups for the back ups for the back ups for the back ups! They'll make sure it is safe!
