Description
Summary:The development of Kinect has provided many ways of usage in the commercial and entertainment industries. One commonly used Kinect is the Xbox, which is able to detect the presence and motions of players. These days, the Kinect has been shifted to the Healthcare industry due to its superb interactive functions. However, this is only applicable for people who are fit and/or have decent mobility in their bodies. This project proposes implementations for people who have high immobility and/or restricted body movements. This is applicable to patients in the hospitals as the proposed implementations can provide an economical but yet high quality solution to the hospitals.
