Futian Zhang, Master’s candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Edward Lank

Smart TVs are getting popular in recent few years. Given the emerging feature of distant bare hand control, one challenge is how to perform common tasks with this new input modality. Two tasks are discovered in this thesis including video timeline control task and object pointing task.

Stavros Birmpilis, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science
