Project based collaboration which involved building a 3D avatar model world (football supporters) with human – computer interaction based on Microsoft Kinect and smartphone(Android & iOS). I worked in a team of 2 and we were responsible for:- developing a C# library for gesture recognition which involves Microsoft Kinect SDK- the detection of the hand which held the phone- the mapping of the 3D objects on the avatar model according to the data received from you skeleton.

Bucharest, Romania

The position implied teaching object orientated programming from a practical perspective (lab sessions) for first year students at Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science. I illustrated and taught object oriented programming paradigm concepts by using the C++ language.

Singapore

The work involved building a C++ library for hand gestures recognition which were performed by using a Microsoft Kinect device. Support Vector Machine model was used as a machine learner model for the project work and the following libraries were also used: openGL, openCV, openNI.
