The buzz around Microsoft’s Kinect motion controller has quieted somewhat, but that doesn’t mean developers aren’t working with the technology. eWeek has published a slideshow detailing eight innovative ways developers are using Kinect:
- To detect non-verbal signs of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- To help analysts spot trends in CRM data
- To create models of real-world objects for 3D printing
- To detect and compensate for patient movement during brain scans
- To allow shoppers to get information about grocery items by pointing at them
- To use digital signs to collect data on customers
- To create interactive water fountains
- To improve users’ golf swings
