How did I became insterested in Kinesthetic Learning and gesture recognition technologies?It is a bit of a long story...
Since the beginning of my undergraduate program at UC, San Diego I developed a great interest in gesture recognition technology. Body movements seems to me like the most natural, liberatory, and novel approach to human-computer interaction. My interest lead me to installation art that uses the Microsoft Kinect to disrupt viewer's passivity in a gallery space. Participants in this kind of art form engage in a unique interaction, which thinking about it critically, it can be consider a performance in where the stage is set up for the user to embody. I encountered very interesting and worth-exploring arena of concepts using this technology during my years in the Interdisciplinary in the Computing and the Arts Major (ICAM).
