Congratulations to our PhD student Mehran Rastegar Sani for winning the best presentation award at the @otago School of Computing Postgraduate Research Symposium. Well done 👏

Last week, our PhD student Shazia Gul rang the traditional @otago bell to celebrate submitting her PhD thesis. It was great that so many of the @OtagoVisual and #HCI group members were able to join and celebrate this milestone 👏

We are very proud of our PhD student Mehran Rastegar Sani, who won an award for the best Late-Breaking-Work at @ACMMobileHCI for his presentation Train Me: Exploring Mobile Sports Capture and Replay for Immersive Sports Coaching. Well done, that is an awesome achievement 👏

The work explores a mobile sports capture and replay approach for immersive self-training, with the goal to help users improve their skills without needing coaches on-site youtu.be/xWKT-_ijJj0
