A Kinect NUI for 3D Medical Visualization
A natural user interface (NUI) to interact with 3D reconstructions of anatomical structures, with up to six degrees of freedom, by using the Kinect as the only input device. The theoretical goal is to experience touchless 3D interactions, with six degrees of freedom, by tracking hands and gestures in 3D space. The practical goal is to allow surgeons to manipulate and interact with 3D medical image data in operating rooms, where non-sterilizable devices cannot be used.
