Slice" <[email protected]> Greetings, fellow morphometricians! I was wondering if anyone knew of any scientific applications of the Microsoft Kinect technology. Kudo Tsunoda has hinted at the potential of Kinect "...to digitise real-world objects and take them into the virtual world … I think we’re going to see a lot more games start using that as well as we go forward" (http://123kinect.com/kinect-object-scanning/). It seems to me that there should be some way to exploit the 3D data collection potential of Kinect for geomorphometrics in the hard sciences. Unfortunately, I am not nearly tech-savvy enough to devise a method for this use. Anyone have any thoughts?
