-He is best known for his work on 3D vision: he was a core contributor to the Emmy-award-winning 3D camera tracker “boujou”, having co-founded the company "2d3", with Andrew Zisserman, Julian Morris, and Nick Bolton; at Microsoft, he introduced massive synthetic training data for Kinect for Xbox 360; and was science lead on the real-time hand tracking in Microsoft's HoloLens. His research interests are broad, spanning computer vision, graphics, machine learning, neuroscience, and most recently programming languages. He has published numerous highly-cited papers, and received many awards for his work, including ten “best paper” prizes at various venues, the Silver medal of the Royal Academy of Engineering, and the BCS Roger Needham award. He is a fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, the British Computer Society, and the International Association for Pattern Recognition.+He is best known for his work on computer vision: he was a core contributor to the Emmy-award-winning 3D camera tracker “boujou”, having co-founded the company "2d3", with Andrew Zisserman, Julian Morris, and Nick Bolton; at Microsoft, he introduced massive synthetic training data for Kinect for Xbox 360; and was science lead on the real-time hand tracking in Microsoft's HoloLens.
