\b0\fs24 In this project, we are developing a real-time 3D hand gesture recognition system for large display (horizontal or vertical) interaction. Using a Kinect, we are able to track the fingertips of bare hands in real-time. The gesture-based interactive interface allows users to do both path and pose gestures seamlessly, and responds to continuous and discrete flow gestures promptly and appropriately. \

\b0\fs24 ChemInk is a new sketch recognition framework for chemical structure drawings that combines multiple levels of visual features using a jointly trained conditional random field. The result is a recognizer that is better able to handle the wide range of drawing styles found in messy freehand sketches. A preliminary user study also showed that participants were on average over twice as fast using our sketch-based system compared to ChemDraw, a popular CAD-based tool for authoring chemical diagrams. \

\b0\fs24 PhysInk is a physics-enabled sketching app for tablets and digital whiteboards that lets you quickly create animations of physical structure and behavior. You can sketch a device's parts in 2D, then move these parts to demonstrate the device's behavior. PhysInk understands 2D physics with the help of the {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://box2d.org/"}}{\fldrslt \cf2 \ul \ulc2 Box2D physics engine}}. It also understands causality, so it can generate a simulation of your device in action. \
