How Xbox Kinect can transform breasts - literally

At Sheffield Hallam university’s Centre for Sports Engineering Research, doctors Jon Wheat, Simon Choppin and consultant surgeon Amit Goyal have developed a technique for assessing which implants to use for breast reconstruction following the removal of a tumour.

Currently surgeons use their own visual judgement, which can be imprecise. However, the Sheffield Hallam team have used an unlikely source – the Xbox Kinect – to develop an alternative.

Whose says Kinect is useless?

Foehammer3840d ago

Only those who don't own one.

This isn't the first time I've seen the medical community embrace Kinect.

They know good tech, they have to

gangsta_red3840d ago

Maybe this is the reason MS has decided to make/push their Hololens more of an outside use than a gaming focus one.

They said that Kinect is furure of gaming. Boy how they tricked us.

dcbronco3839d ago

Meninblack must be a dead man. The future of gaming is still evolving. Just because developers haven't figured out how to use it doesn't mean it's not useful. They could be doing a better job.

Another huge problem is the number of sheep gamers. When Wii came out and later Kinect, there was the constant rumbling of looking like a fool waving your hands around. Now we have PlayStation Move and VR and I've never heard that charge leveled once. Society loses out on a lot of good things because we allow the sheep to dictate based on the whims of the ignorant.

I have always been highly impressed by what the Kinect 2 is able to do. It is a shame no one is attempting to make games for it.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing16d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit16d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing16d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9216d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
