[4eyes] Last research lunch this quarter

[Chris Sweeney]

It turns out Wendy is having her MS defense in the conference room at our
normal research lunch time. So we'll hold off on research lunches until
next quarter, but I encourage you all to attend the MS Defense:

Title: Real-time Hand Interaction for Augmented Reality on Mobile Phones

Abstract:
Over the past few years, Augmented Reality became widely popular in the
form of smart phone applications. However, most smart-phone-based AR
applications are limited in user interaction and do not support
gesture-based direct manipulation of the augmented scene. In this paper,
we introduce AR interaction methodology, using our hands and fingers to
interact with the virtual (and possibly physical) objects that appear on
the mobile phone screen. The goal of this project was to support
different types of interaction (selection, transformation, and
fine-grain control of an input value) while keeping the methodology for
hand detection as simple as possible to maintain good performance on
smart phones. We evaluated our methods in user studies, collecting task
performance data and user impressions about this direct way of
interacting with augmented scenes through mobile phones.

Everyone Welcome.
