I’ve recently heard about Project Natal:
Introducing Project Natal, a revolutionary new way to play: no controller required. See a ball? Kick it, hit it, trap it or catch it. If you know how to move your hands, shake your hips or speak you and your friends can jump into the fun — the only experience needed is life experience.
Can you imagine the same system in medical simulations? I can. You set up a learning environment at your home, and simulate laparoscopic procedures.
Or you study a medical specialty and try to memorize the answers through using Quiz.md and your voice. Unlimited opportunities in interactive learning…

I agree with the outburst I heard after the demo “Oh my gosh!” Thank you for posting this video. This is simply impressive and does hold several possibilities for the medical community. It is a ‘landmark’ program! You really could do laparoscopic procedures. Or you could just work on giving shots. Think about seeing patients and doing different scenarios. This would even help with bedside manor, since it recognizes emotions too. The ideas are limitless, and astounding. It looks like they are on the way to creating something similar to Star Trek’s holodeck program!
Thank you,
