The Department of Computer Science and Engineering (DEI) will organise the lecture “Motion Matching: A New Interaction Paradigm for the IoT?” delivered by professor Augusto Esteves (Edinburgh Napier University) on February 28, at 1 p.m., in Alameda and Taguspark campi.

Taguspark: VC 0-19 (DSI room)
Alameda: Multipurpose room 0.19, Informatics building II.

Abstract
Motion matching is a novel interaction technique designed for the Internet-of-Things (IoT) that is device-independent, scalable, and consistent. Unlike traditional interfaces where targets are static (to facilitate pointing), motion matching interfaces display targets that move continuously in a specific trajectory – with users selecting a target by simply tracking that target’s movement in real-time. This seminar will introduce different case studies of the technique, covering varied IoT domains such as wearables, smart rooms, smart TVs, and even augmented-reality.

Bio
Augusto Esteves is an Assistant Professor at Edinburgh Napier University, where he leads the HCI Lab.
