Kinect integration into a biofeedback systemfor children under rehabilitation.
Background
This project is done in collaboration with the German Heart Center and Sony. The goal ofthe project is to research and develop systems that help children with heart disorders torecover physical fitness after having an operative treatment. The system uses electronicgames to help motivate the children to perform exercise. Playing games will cause thechildren to perform moves that are supporting the rehabilitation process. The patientsphysical engagement is measured by biomedical sensors and used for controlling theintensity and frequency of moves that are stressed by playing the game.
Description
The objective of this project is to use Kinect together with the windows SDK developmentframework for the detection of body movement and posture. This information will beintegrated into the biofeedback system together with the data obtained from differentsensors. Programming skills are required, experience in 3d and Qt is advisable.
This project is to be developed at the Experimental Heart Surgery Lab of the GermanHeart Center. (Lazarettstr. 62)
