Using the Xbox Kinect in Medical Science.

A hospital in Toronto is using Kinect to allow surgeons to make hand gestures that control imaging systems while they operate. This eliminates the need for surgeons to leave the sterile field around the operating table whenever they want to pull up images from an MRI or CT scan and the time that they save reduces costly delays. The problem with simulators is that they're too expensive to put outside every operating room whereas Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 is not. If you could get a video game to do the same job as a $100,000 simulator then the money saved  can be spent elsewhere with technological advances within science.
