If you thought playing video games didn’t pay off, you haven’t met Krithik Ramesh.
The game ‘Just Dance’ is the inspiration behind a science project that could change the way spinal surgery is performed. Today surgeons use live-time x-rays to help navigate the spine. The radiation however can be harmful to the body. Using motion tracking similar to the video game, Ramesh developed a safer and more accurate system for surgeons.
At the Intel International Science and Engineering fair he beat out his other competitors winning the top prize of 75,000 dollars for his method. He says the money will go right back into his education.
