I am a principal researcher at Microsoft Research. My work is focused on applying sensing techniques to enable new styles of human-computer interaction. Today that means multi-touch and gesture-based interfaces, display technologies, depth cameras and so-called "natural" interfaces. In 2002 I helped found the Surface Computing group at Microsoft. I manage the Natural Interaction Research group at Microsoft Research. Before joining Microsoft, I obtained my BA at Cornell University, and MS and PhD at the MIT Media Laboratory. I grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania and now live in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle.

May 28, 2013. My business card has my contact info. I gave a talk on my research at the BUILD conference in 2012. You can watch it here. New! Check out my YouTube channel! |

Professional Activities |
|
|
I've been active in the UIST, CHI, Tabletop (now Interactive Tabletops and Surfaces), ICMI, and Ubicomp academic communities, where I've have had the pleasure of serving on various program committees. I co-chaired Tabletop 2007 and chaired UIST 2009. I tend to publish under the name "Andrew D. Wilson". |
