Abstract
In 1487, Leonardo da Vinci created a drawing that he entitled “The Vitruvian Man,” depicting what he believed to be the ideal human proportions. But these proportions are not only a matter of beauty. Height, weight, and other body measures can actually be an indicator of appropriate development and general health in both children and adults. Kinect has a device that can precisely measure all your body proportions in real time. If you combine this ability with other sensors, you can create a general-purpose biometric station for your personal use and delight.
