AnatOnMe projects patients’ insides onto their outsides — from gizmag.com by Paul Ridden
Excerpt:
A team at Microsoft’s research wing has developed a working prototype of a system that may help to encourage physical injury sufferers to do their exercises by giving them a clearer understanding of what’s going on. A therapist would use the device to project a series of graphics of underlying bone, muscle tissue, tendons or nerves directly onto the body of a patient to help explain the nature of the injury and prescribe effective treatment. The device can also take photos during a consultation, which can be subsequently reviewed or printed out as a memory aid for the patient.
Okay, that’s just cool. I wish I had that in my Human A&P class!
No doubt Liam — very cool!
Thanks for the comment,

Can you buy one of those or still there not for sale
Thanks for the comment/question here Nader. I’m not sure on the answer here, so I would check w/ the team of Amy K. Karlson and Daniel Wigdor from Microsoft Research, and PhD student intern Tao Ni from Virginia Tech’s Department of Computer Science.
Thanks again,
Daniel
