We are interested in enabling natural human-computer interaction by combining techniques from computer vision, machine learning, computer graphics, human-computer interaction and psychology. Specific areas that we focus on include:
- multimodal human-computer interfaces,
- affective computing,
- pen-based interfaces,
- sketch-based applications,
- intelligent user interfaces
- applications of computer vision and machine learning to solving real world problems.
