RSNA: Siemens shows prototype system of kinect based interaction

At the RSNA, Siemens has demonstrated a novel prototype for interaction with medical imaging data in, for example, the operating theater.

Based on the Microsoft Kinect capabilities, Siemens has demonstrated a free hand interaction with the ability to interact with the data without the need of any input devices other that your own hands. Intentions are to develop this prototype further to also include speech, thus providing an easy and versatile 3D visualization environment in the operating theater.
