NO-ACCESS
Most of the amputees does not have access to a
prosthesis
TRIP
The necessity to go in a specific laboratory.
EXPENSIVE MACHINERY
The scanners used to make the residual limb
connection to the prosthesis was big and IMMOVABLE

scanners

10. The residual limb scan could be made at the costumer’s home
COST-EFFECTIVE
SENSOR
The Xbox Kinect sensor
could be TRANSPORTED
and was cheaper.
PARTNERSHIP
To develop the software
needed to read the Kinect
data they got the Microsoft
engineers’ expertise.
RESULTS
After some work at
Microsoft’s R&D building,
they obtained a new
solution to make the 3D
model.
