Researchers in China, in collaboration with Microsoft Research, developed the Kinect Sign Language Translator, a system that can translate sign language into spoken and written language in near real time.
Their recovery levels can be measured and monitored by the system, and researchers believe the game-like atmosphere generated will help patients recover faster. This allows the patients to recover from home under private care or with family, instead of hospital environments. Their activities will be monitored with Kinect’s scanning ability, and a program that helps keep track of their progress.
Users will be given exercises that will improve their motor functions. Stroke Recovery With Kinect is a project sponsored by Microsoft Research and Seoul National University with the aim of providing a low-cost home rehabilitation solution for stroke victims. The software is available in the Kinect For Windows SDK. With smaller objects, the user has to move it around in front of the sensor while with large objects, the user moves the sensor to scan it.Īs said by Shahram Izadi, a senior researcher at Microsoft Research, "The amazing thing about this solution is how you can take an off-the-shelf Kinect for Windows sensor and create 3-D models rapidly". The Kinect Fusion project allows a user to use an off-the-shelf Kinect camera as a 3D scanner for producing high-quality 3D scans of small or large objects. Here are just 10 of the innovative ways the Microsoft Kinect is being used. Īfter Microsoft released the SDK for Kinect, it has been a vital part in many medical, robotic and other fields, re-invented as part of a homemade hack, a university research project and lots more. While some see it is as nothing more that a video-game add-on, the Microsoft Kinect commands technologies that extend practical usage beyond the gaming realm. Microsoft even added it as a peripheral when marketing the Xbox One, boosting features in it such as voice control for the console. The Kinect was released in 2010 as a peripheral for the Xbox 360 and was marketed as a way to add motion controls to games.
