DESCRIPTION:David will be presenting KinectFusion\, a system developed by 
 the Sensors and Devices group at MSR Cambridge that enables a user holding
  and moving a standard Kinect camera to rapidly create detailed 3D\nrecons
 tructions of an indoor scene. Only the depth data from Kinect is used to t
 rack the 3D pose of the sensor and reconstruct\, geometrically precise\, 3
 D models of the physical scene in real-time. Novel extensions to the core 
 GPU pipeline demonstrate object segmentation\nand user interaction directl
 y in front of the sensor\, without degrading camera tracking or reconstruc
 tion. These extensions are used to enable real-time multi-touch interactio
 ns anywhere\, allowing any planar or non-planar reconstructed physical sur
 face to be appropriated\nfor touch. As part of his presentation\, he will 
 interactively demonstrate the uses of the core system for low-cost handhel
 d scanning\, and geometry-aware augmented reality and physics-based intera
 ctions.\n\nBiography:\n\nDavid Kim is an off-site Ph.D. candidate at Newca
 stle University Culture Lab since 2009 and joined the Sensors and Devices 
 group at Microsoft Research Cambridge UK in 2010. His current research foc
 uses on novel input and output technologies for 3D spatial and natural\nin
 teraction. In particular\, he is interested in holographic user interfaces
 \, 3D input with haptic and tactile feedback and augmented reality technol
 ogies that enable unencumbered realistic interaction with virtual content 
 without instrumenting the user. His recent works\ninclude KinectFusion\, a
  system for real-time dense surface reconstruction and geometry-aware inte
 raction with Kinect\, HoloDesk a situated see-through display that enables
  direct 3D interaction\, and augmented projectors for 3D interaction with 
 a pico projector. Before moving to the UK\, he received his M.Sc. degree i
 n Media Informatics from University of Munich (LMU) in 2008 and had been w
 orking on novel multi-touch technologies and applications in the Fluidum g
 roup in\nMunich.
