Conference in Leeds

On Tuesday and Wednesday, there is a symposium held in Leeds, organised by Dr. Kia Ng from Leeds University: the 2nd ConGAS International Symposium on Gesture Interfaces for Multimedia Systems. Since this is in my area of research interest, I participated on Tuesday in the technical sessions held at The Venue at Leeds College of Music. This meeting was organised as part of the EU action Gesture Controlled Audio Systems (ConGAS). Interesting presentations were given, highlighting current efforts in this domain between technology and music. I got acquainted with other European researchers in this area and learned about their expertise.

In the evening, we went to a dinner at the Indian restaurant AAGRAH - very good food!
