At this time last year, even Wang Wan, director of the Asia-Pacific business unit of Microsoft Kinect for Windows (hereinafter referred to as 'K4W'), was also worried about how to make those developers believe in somatosensory technology and serious medical care that have been seriously defined by the game. The industry has inevitable connections.
For this reason, she had to explain to developers the difference between K4W and that famous game console, just like an answering machine. "Oh, no, we are mainly for business developers, using somatosensory technology in retail, medical, simulation and education, we are not specifically for games."
You can understand it this way, K4W is a special product, it also uses infrared and traditional cameras to track gestures, and uses a microphone to recognize voice. But it is more like a research tool. Strictly speaking, it is actually the different software applications running above that redefine it. Otherwise, it is just the "advanced" camera that costs $ 249 on Amazon.
When Microsoft CEO Ballmer said at the CES last year that he wanted to bring Kinect to Windows, no one knew what he was going to do, or some disagreed. The American technology website Com-puter World once wrote: "In the field of somatosensory control equipment, Microsoft is five years ahead of its competitors, but now it is behind." What makes it puzzled is why K4W chose such a narrow one. In the commercial field, Leap MoTIon (another American somatosensory equipment manufacturer) was handed over to the huge consumer field.
But what happened later can completely shut up Computer World. "Several hospitals took the initiative to find us, and they even made their own demands." In fact, most of the commercial business of Ubi InteracTIve, where Zhang Chao is located, uses gesture operations in meetings and exhibitions, but some hospitals are very eager to use this The technology is transplanted into the operating room. Before that, if the surgeons wanted to retrieve the medical images stored in the computer, it was a very tedious thing, either to operate the unsterilized computer in person, and then wash their hands again; or let the nurse do the work. Now, one gesture solves all problems.
K4W's medical breakthrough is obviously more conflicting than several other areas. Whether it is a large screen in an exhibition that can be manipulated with gestures or a projector in an office, or a variety of virtual 3D games in a preschool center, it actually only changes the way people interact with machines. In other words, you no longer need a mouse and keyboard, and you are more immersive. But medically, something that was previously unimaginable was happening.
Ben comes from Microsoft Cambridge University Research Institute. His team used K4W to develop a technology that can see the structure of the human brain. "Doctors often face such problems. They see a patient's brain tumor, but how to get a knife?" The brain's complex nervous and vascular system can completely judge the maturity of a doctor, and it is difficult for rookies to find a reasonable surgical plan. .
The future may not be so troublesome. Ben will first use K4W to accurately calculate the shape of the patient's brain, draw a 3D image, and upload the medical image obtained by the patient through various fluoroscopy devices (such as CT, MRI, etc.). Then a wonderful thing happened, "When I put these two (3D model and real medical image) together, you will find that they automatically match and are put in the model of the same coordinate system." In the demo shown by Ben, there is a very clear brain image in the 3D model of the head in the computer. He can even manipulate the camera in his hand to view partial images at different angles.
"Yes, the red area is the tumor I want to remove." Ben added the image of the skull again, and like a skilled surgeon, he moved to find a suitable entry point. "Doctors can finally remove the skin of the head virtually and study the operation through the bones instead of having a craniotomy first."
The Kinect Fusion technology he used was just added by the new version of K4W. It can capture and create a 3D model of the object in real time, which is considered to be a "reverse 3D printer".
Most innovations may not be as cool as the above example, but they are more real. Atlas5D, a startup from Microsoft's K4W accelerator project, is looking for venture capital. A device they develop will scan people in the room in real time and then perceive small changes in their posture and gait. In fact, many diseases including stroke, arthritis and pneumonia will be reflected in some changes in movement in the early stage. If K4W senses that someone's physical condition is abnormal, it will send an email to his family or doctor.
Wang Zhuo found that more and more developers are beginning to notice the medical value of K4W. Two months ago, she met a biomedical team at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. What they did was not complicated. They set up several devices in the community and then collected some movement data of the old people, such as raising the left leg , Go round. After some data analysis, they will provide corresponding medical solutions. "I think this is a good attempt. After all, devices with similar functions will only appear in those large hospitals because they are very expensive." In a student development competition organized by Microsoft, there are one-third of the projects. It's about medical treatment.
But she also realized a problem at the same time, "Medical is a very serious field. When these technologies start to be promoted on a large scale, you must at least use data to prove that these technologies and equipment can replace traditional medical equipment. This is a Things that require cycles. "
