Kinect Hacks




At Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Josh Tan and colleagues are using the Kinect for the Xbox 360 to manipulate 3D models from CT scans. They modified the modified software to visualize the internal parts of the patients. Normally, the doctors would need to use a mouse to manipulate the image. With this new hack, they are able to use their hands in front of a sensor to move it any way they wish. This allows them to focus on their procedure while providing the necessary information.
