Kinect is a multimedia sensor from Microsoft. It is shipped as the touch-free console for Xbox 360 video gaming platform. Kinect comprises an RGB Camera, a Depth Sensor (IR Emitter and Camera) and a Microphone Array. It produces a multi-stream video containing RGB, depth, skeleton, and audio streams.
Compared to common depth cameras (laser or Time-of-Flight), the cost of a Kinect is quite low as it uses a novel structured light diffraction and triangulation technology to estimate the depth. In addition, Kinect is equipped with special software to detect human figures and to produce its 20-joints skeletons.
Though Kinect was built for touch-free gaming, its cost effectiveness and human tracking features have proved useful in many indoor applications beyond gaming like robot navigation, surveillance, medical assistance and animation.

Imaging objects obscured by occluders is a significant challenge for many applications. A camera that could “see around corners” could help improve navigation and mapping capabilities of autonomous vehicles or make search and rescue missions more effective. Time-resolved single-photon imaging systems have recently been demonstrated to record optical information of a scene that can lead to an estimation of the shape and reflectance of objects hidden from the line of sight of a camera. However, existing non-line-of-sight (NLOS) reconstruction algorithms have been constrained in the types of light transport effects they model for the hidden scene parts. We introduce a factored NLOS light transport representation that accounts for partial occlusions and surface normals. Based on this model, we develop a factorization approach for inverse time-resolved light transport and demonstrate high-fidelity NLOS reconstructions for challenging scenes both in simulation and with an experimental NLOS imaging system.

We introduce a wave-based image formation model for the problem of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging. Inspired by inverse methods used in seismology, we adapt a frequency-domain method, f-k migration, for solving the inverse NLOS problem.
Al giorno d'oggi, l'utilizzo di NUI (Natural User Interface) rendono possibili nuove modalità di interazione tra utente e dispositivo. Vediamo come Microsoft Kinect e Intel Realsense ed I relastivi SDK rendono possibile l’implementazione di queste tecnologie nelle nostre applicazioni, nonche’ le recenti applicazioni di autenticazione biometrica introdotte in Windows 10.

The UX of Tomorrow: Designing for the Unknown by Jeff FeddersenOxford Tech + UX
MIT Enterprise Forum of NYC hosted The UX of Tomorrow: Designing for the Unknown on June 4th, 2015 at Shutterstock featuring Beverly May, Ryan Gossen, Jay Vidyarthi, and Jeff Feddersen. This is Jeff's presentation from the event.
Trained in computer science and music, Jeff works with software and hardware to make computers do new and unusual things. He is currently part of a team developing a sculptural reflection of energy and resource flows in what is being heralded as the world`s greenest office building. His work for groups ranging from the Hayden Planetarium and the Connecticut Science Center to Sony and HBO has resulted in award-winning public interactive experiences.
Jeff teaches at NYU`s graduate Interactive Telecommunications Program, where he has a residency to develop video curricula supporting physical computing and energy. His novel musical instruments and kinetic sound sculptures have been performed on and exhibited internationally, and he is the co-inventor of an electronic wind instrument based on the Japanese shakuhachi (US patent #7723605).
The next ten years of technology will see many of Ray Kurzweil`s predictions come alive: Embedded, invisible, unwired electricity and internet-based interactions will drive every aspect of our lived environment. The physical and digital worlds are merging, powered by incredible changes in computing, universal connectivity as well as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning. This pending wave is certain to change every aspect of our human-computer interaction.
Major technological leaps present interesting design and UX challenges and require a wholesale shift in perspective by designing for the as-yet unknown. Screens, keyboards, and mouse dominated yesterday and today. Tomorrow, these systems will be initiated, controlled, and tracked through location and environment, semantic context, a wave of the arm, a blink of an eye, a directed gaze, a heartbeat, a crowd-driven trend, even a brainwave.
Whole new approaches and design systems need to be considered for what the next wave of products do, what they look and feel like, and how they can be more meaningful, useful, relevant, and intuitive.
This talk discussed the UX of tomorrow for the next wave of product design based on some of the very first products and services on the market that hint at the integrate

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
