Current research interest

• Tracking and analysis of hand manipulations and interactions
• Human motion tracking
• Character physics: using physics, cloth and soft bodies simulations to enhance tracking
• Motion segementation and motion primitives
• Graphic card accelerated scientific computation with CUDA/OpenCL
• Applications of human motion tracking in athletic sports, golf and other areas
