Virtual View Beneath The Skin

Microsoft has created a handheld device that allows patients, in physical therapy, to see their injury and wounds easily. Doctors are hoping that this will make patients want to come back and finish their physical therapy because now they can see their progress. The device is said to be "somewhat low-tech" by Karlson who presented the device this past week in Vancouver. It comes in two parts. The first contains a handheld, or pico,a projector, an ordinary digital camera, and an infrared camera.The second contains a laser pointer and the control buttons. Most patients are interested in this product and they are hoping this device will become a success.
