Trial of "touchless" gaming technology in surgery
Vernon and Jeanne Barr, ages 96 and 89 respectively, are guinea pigs of sorts. They are part of a scientific experiment that uses video gaming technology -- the same technology used in Xbox game system to be exact -- to detect the onset of illness and protect seniors against falls. The couple has lived in the TigerPlace Aging-in-Place residences in Columbia, Missouri for the past five years.

Small USB dongle for your Mac makes Microsoft’s Kinect look like a drunk, stumbling uncle (with video)
Mar 28, 2013 - 05:15 PM EDT — AAPL: 442.66 (-9.42, -2.08%) | NASDAQ: 3267.52 (0.00, +0%) “Imagine that you could buy a tiny USB-powered box that detected your motion like Microsoft’s Kinect, only instead of watching you jump around a room, it watched your hands and fingers. Imagine that the box was sensitive enough to track the tip of a pencil tracing out letters in a 1cm square of space, and to turn that into accurate handwriting on the screen,” Charlie Sorrel reports for Cult of Mac.
I am pleased to announce that today we have released version 1.5 of the Kinect for Windows runtime and SDK. Additionally, Kinect for Windows hardware is now available in Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan.

Martijn Thé – iPhone & iPad Development & Interaction Design » Interfacing an optical mouse sensor to your Arduino
In this tutorial I’ll describe how you can connect the optical sensor inside a cheap mouse to your Arduino and have it read out the x- and y-movements. This will enable your Arduino to handle mouse input, detect surface movements, measure surface speed, etc. MaterialsWant to know more what the Microsoft accelerator is like?
The Kinect Accelerator
The SDK Beta 2 versions of these tutorials have been highlighted here before ( Tutorial: XNA 4.0 + Kinect for Windows SDK and Simple example for implementing skeletal tracking ), so it makes sense to highlight the SDK v1 updated versions too... I have rewritten the entire Kinect Fundamentals tutorial series to cover the new Kinect for Windows SDK 1.0.

Motion Database HDM05
It is the objective of our motion capture database HDM05 to supply free motion capture data for research purposes. HDM05 contains more than three hours of systematically recorded and well-documented motion capture data in the C3D as well as in the ASF/AMC data format. Furthermore, HDM05 contains for more than 70 motion classes in 10 to 50 realizations executed by various actors.Machine Vision
