NEWS: Playing with Star Wars technology! (7/14/2012)

'n Menslike hand word voor 'n rekenaarskerm gehou wat 'n virtuele robothand vertoon wat die hand se bewegings naboots. 'n Videospeelknoppie word oor die beeld geplaas.

CM&BHC has just received a small business innovation research (SBIR) grant through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in collaboration with Infinite Biomedical Technologies. The grant is to develop a game that can be used for training arm amputees who are fitted with new prostheses they can control with EMG sensing technology. The game prototype will be tested by patients at Medstar National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington, D.C.
