Through independent projects like GestureCtrl (real-time hand gesture recognition) and Rugby (AI-powered 3D tactical analysis), I explore how elegant theory meets powerful engineering. With an IPC Online Silver Award and 1100+ GitHub commits, I&#8217;m driven by curiosity and the pursuit of independence.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-x-large-font-size\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-cbe57604 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-top-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent-6);border-top-width:1px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What motivated you to start your computer vision and HCI projects?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My motivation originated from observing inefficiencies in everyday human\u2013computer interaction.

Projects such as GestureCtrl emerged from exploring whether real-time landmark tracking could replace traditional input devices while maintaining low latency and stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I see these projects not merely as applications, but as experiments in improving interaction design through computer vision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-top-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent-6);border-top-width:1px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What technical challenges did you encounter, and how did you address them?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One major challenge was reducing noise and instability in real-time gesture tracking. Raw landmark data often leads to cursor jitter and delayed responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address this, I implemented adaptive smoothing mechanisms and dynamic thresholding, balancing responsiveness and stability. I also explored system-level API integration to reduce latency in OS-level control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this process, I gained a deeper understanding of real-time data processing and human-centered system optimization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-cbe57604 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-top-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent-6);border-top-width:1px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do your projects connect to your academic interests?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>My academic focus lies in computer vision, human\u2013computer interaction, and AI-based modeling systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the Rugby AI project applies object detection and spatial-temporal analysis to sports performance evaluation.
