Microsoft Kinecting with the US military
Microsoft is testing a therapy system for injured soldiers that uses its Kinect motion sensing technology. The package will allow veterans to carry out physical therapy exercises at home, reducing the need for them to visit a medical facility. There appears to be a particular focus on the PC version due to its stronger facial recognition.
I must admit I never thought of Kinect being used in medical treatment ........ but the idea seems to be an interesting one.
