About me

I am a Chair of Computer Science at the School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, UK

My research leverages AI and the Augmentation of users’ senses to overcome the physical limitations of the real world, fostering a more inclusive workplace by bridging differences in location, abilities, resources, and customs, enabling better collaboration.

I am a member of the Perception, Language, and Action Theme at the University of Birmingham Virtual Reality Lab. Additionally, I am an affiliate of the University of Birmingham’s Institute for Data and AI (IDAI).

Pioneering Technology

As an interdisciplinary scholar, entrepreneur, and practitioner, I had the pleasure of introducing several new technologies worldwide, including the world’s first time-of-flight colour and depth video camera (ZCam), whose technology was used for Microsoft HoloLens, Microsoft Kinect, Magic Leap headsets, and more. I developed the first streetside service, combining maps with ground-level street coverage, which inspired Google’s Street View and Microsoft’s StreetSide services. I have created a new feature that is used to detect text in natural images (Stroke Width Transform), used by many OCR and mobile services, and was included in the OpenCV library. I have developed a novel Augmented Reality experience for automatic fitting in changing environments (FLARE). Its technology was used in Microsoft HoloLens and Unity MARS. I have developed a novel robotic cane to guide blind individuals, technology to map and fight wildfires using autonomous drones, and much more (See some more here).

Pioneering Research

I am a senior member of the Association for Computing Machinery.

I am an IEEE Distinguished Contributor.

I have founded several research groups, including the Microsoft Bing Maps and Microsoft Research Augmented Reality groups. I have published over 110 papers in leading forums such as Science Robotics, Nature Communications, Computer Vision & Pattern Recognition, SIGGRAPH, CHI, and more, with more than 10 papers receiving Best Paper or Best Papers Honourable Mention, and have been cited about 19,000 times. I have been granted more than 100 patents in computer vision, graphics, location-based services, and AI. I am frequently an AC on major conferences and was the paper chair for ACM SIGGIS 2011.

Past Experience

2023 Data Blanket. Leading the vision/AI development of Real-time AI-Driven Fire Fighting

Wildfires result in the loss of thousands of lives, millions of acres, hundreds of billions of dollars in damage, and over 5% of global emissions every year. We build a system to empower firefighters with new tactical tools and information.

2011-2023 Principal Researcher & Research Manager, Microsoft Research

My research focused on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), sensing, and Mixed-Reality displays (MR) to enable users to reach their full potential in productivity, creativity, and collaboration. I have been granted more than 110 patents and published over 90 academic papers (with more than 14000 citations), and I was awarded ACM Senior Member status.

In addition to publications and the transfer of technology to products, I have released multiple tools and open-source libraries, such as the RoomAlive Toolkit, used around the world for multi-projection systems, SeeingVR to enhance the use of VR for people with low vision, Microsoft Rocketbox avatars, MoveBox and HeadBox toolkits to democratize avatar animation, and RemoteLab for distributed user studies.

Academic service: I served on multiple conference committees (CHI, UIST, CVPR, and more ), as the paper chair of ACM SIGSPATIAL 2011, as the Specialty Chief Editor of Frontiers in Virtual Reality for the area of Haptics, and on the editorial board of IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications Journal (CG&A). 

I have formed and led a new MR research group at Microsoft Research’s Extreme Computing lab. I envision MR applications woven into the fabric of our lives, rather than PC and mobile apps, which are limited to a specific device’s screen. Such applications must be smart enough to understand users’ changing physical and social contexts and flexible enough to adapt accordingly. We developed systems such as FLARE (Fast Layout for AR experiences), which was used by the HoloLens Team and inspired the Unity MARS product, and Triton 3D audio simulation, used by Microsoft Games such as Gears of War 4, and the basis for Microsoft Acoustics. ILLUMIROOM, a collaboration with the Redmond Lab, was presented at the CES 2013 Keynote.

2005-2011 Research Manager, Bing Maps & Mobile Research Lab, Microsoft

I founded the Bing Maps & Mobile Research Lab, where we combined world-class computer vision and graphics research with product impact. Among our results are the development of influential text-detection technology used by the Bing Mobile app and incorporated into OpenCV; the world’s first street-side imagery service and street-level reconstruction of geometry and texture pipeline; novel texture compression used by Virtual Earth 3D; and more.

In addition to publishing in leading computer vision and graphics forums, our work was presented at TED 2010 and featured in the New York Times.

1996-2001 CTO (Software)

I oversaw the R&D (software and algorithms) of the world’s first time-of-flight video camera in a start-up company. I used cameras for applications such as TV depth keying and reconstruction, and they served as the basis for the Depth cameras used by Microsoft HoloLens and Magic Leap HMD.

1985-1986 Bazbosoft –Founder

Development of the award-winning and popular Amiga photo-editing and drawing editor (Photon-Paint).
