Today it was reported that students at the University of Washington were able to use the Kinect to assist in surgery. Now I have a Kinect and can attest to its true magnificence as a game unit or exercise tool but surgery? What would you, the patient, think if you saw your surgeon setting up their Xbox and moving so the Kinect could see their silhouette? Interesting how technology is moving us to places we never thought feasible.
I don't know if I wanted my doctor performing surgery that way. He would have to explain the procedure to me very thoroughly before we got to the operating room, or I would have a serious reaction.
