Research interests: Computer vision and imaging, perceptual interfaces, multimodal interaction, human-computer interaction, gesture recognition, artificial intelligence. 


I'm on the faculty in the Computer Science Department and the Media Arts and Technology Program, an interdisciplinary program positioned at the convergence of arts, media, and technology. My research is mostly concerned with using computer vision as an input modality. That means using cameras (and other sensors) to perceive relevant information about people - e.g., identity, facial expression, body movement, gestures - and then using this information to improve the interface between humans and computers. This is part of a larger agenda, developing "Perceptual Interfaces" (similar to multimodal interfaces, natural interfaces, intelligent interfaces, etc.). In sum, my main research interests are in computer vision and human-computer interaction. See the Four Eyes Lab web site for research projects, publications, etc.
