Regulars to these pages know that I’m pretty excited about the potential of Microsoft’s Kinect, in fact I’m working on an industrial application right now, but I haven’t yet seen any real applications.
That has all changed with the announcement of the “Collision-Proof” power wheelchair from GeckoSystems. This uses the Kinect to detect hazards and stop with wheelchair user/driver from hitting them. There’s lots of info and a couple of movies on the page I’ve linked to, so just click on that. I think you’ll agree that this seems like a great application for this inexpensive 3D imaging system.
