Mass General Hospital Seeking Programmers to Help Develop Surgical Applications for LeapMotion

[laparosc0pes]

The Department of Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital is currently seeking individuals with programming experience in Javascript and Python (C++ and C# proficiency appreciated as well) to join our team of surgical researchers as a collaborator or part-time employee. We are seeking individuals with flexible availability who are interested in working with the LeapMotion tracking device. Experience with LeapMotion is preferred though not required. Individuals will have the opportunity to contribute to academic literature in both the surgical and computer science literature.

I'm happy to answer any questions. Please PM me for more details and for contact information regarding submission of resume and references.

Thanks,

Dan Hashimoto

I am currently taking the Harvard CS50 extension course via edX.
I will be required to submit a final project before December 2014.
Is your intent to use the "Leap Motion" controller as a training device for virtual surgery, virtual robotic surgery or as a control device for robotic surgery?
My background in Medicine was in Infectious Diseases, and Infection Control. I have a law degree that I received in 2010.
CV can be emailed upon request.
Thank you.
Kenneth L. Sanders, MD, FACP, Esq.
