Virtopsy - Potential use of gesture control in medicine...

Sep 20, 2011 - We have own solution for Gesture Recognition Interface with Stereo Camera. We don't use prime sense solution as laser sensor. Our New solution doesn't have Calibration step and Skeleton that mean it is easy to apply any general purpose usage. Get in my place!!

May 2, 2011 - Very nice work guys. We are working on a similar project, we have integrated a fully featured gesture control interface on a DICOM viewer: youtube.com/watch?v=CsIK8D4RLt­Y

Dec 26, 2010 - lol u have a microsoft kinect system but ur using an apple pc

flako179 Says:

Dec 25, 2010 - absolutely amazing! the capabilities of using a natural user interface are just beginning to show, and kinect is gonna be a major cornerstone in this evolution by putting this technology in the hands of the underfunded genius. fuck the naysayers and keep it up :)

Baby4Ghost Says:

Dec 24, 2010 - This is really nice, sinds the first previews of Kinect(milo etc) I already saw the potentials. I'm really glad this is used in this way, to help save peoples live. The tech in Kinect could be used for so many things.. And people should stop bashing about limitations now, of course there are limitations now, Kinect is still in babyfeets, look beyond and see the potentials people..

Dec 23, 2010 - Microsoft Kinect and there is een apple mac on the background >.< But nice !

Dec 22, 2010 - Very nice work.. Like you said, this was a proof of concept and I think it's a very impressive prototype.  My only question is, how often do you think surgeons review CT scans and such during the procedure? I have never seen that done before in my experience and to be honest, the good surgeon does this homework before gowning up. Regardless, I like what you guys have done. Always appreciate collaboration between medicine and technology.

Dec 22, 2010 - : Sorry for that - all the equipments fans plus a crappy camera microphone is a bad combination.

VirtopsyProject Says:

Dec 22, 2010 - : That is absolutely right. Its is one of the next developments and would significantly increase the usability.

VirtopsyProject Says:

Dec 22, 2010 - @juan22021971: The advantages of the kinect solution are that it is very cheap, easy to implement (especially with the official Microsoft driver), does not need any calibration, works independent of the user and has a lot of unknown potential if we think about finger or gesture detection. In comparison to the Gestix system, we can alter the images in a way the surgeon is used to - browsing, windowing and moving is exactly the same as on the PACS workstation.

BloodyIron Says:

Dec 22, 2010 - All this equipment and you guys can't afford a decent microphone? I can barely hear you guys.

VirtopsyProject Says:

Dec 22, 2010 - : Hi. Yes, we are not the first ones to try gesture control. Even before the Gestix system, people were using pointing devices for touch-free computer input (StealthStation i.e.). Modern surgical navigation systems (such as the Brainlab systems) use pointer movement for limited user input.

Dec 22, 2010 - This is quite nice. There needs to be a voice command to fix/unfix the current view configuration as a user will probably want to move their hands after picking a view. No one wants to have to hold their hands in a particular position for an extended period of time.
