Health applications for the Kinect for Xbox 360

The Kinect offers some great functionality that has applications well outside the bounds of the games industry:

Hands-free controls
Advanced motion-sensing
Voice recognition
Facial recognition

MS has a blog that is all about the applications for the product in the Healthcare industry.

There is no doubt that there is a high cross-over between the games and care/health industries.

I really don't think that we have ever lived in more exciting technology times.
