leap motionを用いてCTのボリュームレンダリングを操作

leap motionを使ってオペ時の非接触操作のデモをしてみました。
オペ中のPC操作で避けて通れない、マウス操作による感染のリスクを最小限にとどめることができそうです。また、Kinectを利用したシステムでは、操作に腕の動きを必要とし、制約の多いオペ時には不向きでした。
ソフトウェアレベルでの対応が進めば、medical全般での応用が期待できそうです。

使用したソフトはNobel biocare社のNobel clinicianですが、その他のソフトにDICOMデータをコンバートしても使用感は同じでした。

HUVR Tech – Flying with Tony Hawk, Moby and Doc Brown

In the last days an interesting video hit YouTube – the so called Huvr Technology makes the “Mattel Hover Board” From “Back to the Future” real. Many people visited this blog – because there’s also a LEAP Motion program called “Huvr” – check out the well made video :).

A game designed to help people with amblyopia – Diplopia

Diplopia is a virtual reality game designed by James Blaha to help amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (crossed eye) using the Oculus Rift and Leap Motion controller.   James  put up his game on indiegogo.com crowdfunding platform and got over 20.000 Dollars funded – congratulations! I really like the social idea behind his work. Check out his project and preorder the game.
