[4eyes] Visit and talk next week, vision-based interaction

[Matthew Turk]

Yulia Gizatdinova, from the University of Tampere, will visit the lab on
Thursday and/or Friday, January 5/6. She'll give a talk on the vision-based
interaction research going on in the TAUCHI group (where I stayed for part
of last summer). She can visit either day (or both), so I'm trying to find
out which day would be better for having people around.

 

If you're available either Thursday 1/5 or Friday 1/6, but not both, please
let me know. Hopefully this'll be scheduled by Monday.

 

Yulia may also be visiting for a week or two sometime in the coming academic
year.

 

Thanks,

            Matthew

 

 

Speaker: Yulia Gizatdinova, University of Tampere

Title: Vision-Based Human Computer Interaction

 

Abstract:

I will give an overview of recent and ongoing research in the  

TAUCHI unit at the University of Tampere, with a focus on vision-based  

human-computer interaction. I'll present several research  

projects which aim at developing innovative vision-based user  

interfaces and investigating their applicability and usability in a  

number of prospective application areas such as computer  

accessibility, smart environments, entertainment and gaming.

 

 

Bio:

Yulia Gizatdinova obtained her MSc in Physics from the Rostov State  

University, Russia in 2002. Then she joined Tampere Unit for Computer  

Human Interaction (TAUCHI) at the University of Tampere (UTA),  

Finland. In 2009, she received her PhD in Interactive Technology on  

the topic "Automatic detection of face and facial features from images  

of neutral and expressive faces." Her current research interests  

include computer vision, vision-based perceptual user interfaces and  

human-computer interaction.
