Some perspectives of future work are:
Clinical validation: the use of our prototype in various medical exams
Future Work
Neuronal networks: the study of the employment of more complex neural networks to have a more precise conversion and interpolation
More applications: export the exam data acquired to some standard articulators systems; and animation of virtual mandibles using the movement acquired
