Research

My primary research interests are in computer vision and perceptual interfaces.

For current research projects, see the "Research" page of the Four Eyes Lab site

Old research projects:

• Perceptual interfaces
• Simon Says 
• 3D body tracking 
• Gesture recognition 
• 2D tracking and demos
