The Kinect sensor has brought natural and full body interactions to our homes and changed the way we think of and interact with computing devices. In Digits and FloodLight we focus on sensing hands (our primary mechanism to manipulate and interact with the physical world) with inexpensive hardware and explore the use of freeform 3D interactions in spaces beyond the living room. In this talk, I will describe the mechanisms and design choices we made to enable infrastructure-less mobile hand tracking, as well as high precision 3D interactions in desktop settings.

David Kim is the principal SE manager for the DCSM Standards and Capacity Management Team (SCMT), tackling the challenges of capacity management and data center infrastructure standardization. Previous to this position, David was in Global Foundation Services (GFS), where he spent the last five years running the Standards Program responsible for consolidating the infrastructure requirements of over 300+ properties to deliver data center-optimized solutions that saved the company a significant amount of capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expense (OPEX). He has over 15 years of business and technology experience that proves invaluable in his current role.
