We are pleased to announce that Leland Holmquest will be our special guest speaker at our May meeting.
Leland will be talking about Project Lily: Kinect enabled virtual assistant
Project Lily started as a class project (CS895: Software for Context-Aware Multiuser Systems) at George Mason University. It has since been the basis for other class projects. Lily is intended to be a virtual assistant, trying to closely mimic human behavior and interactions. The Kinect for Windows sensor provides the "eyes and ears" for Lily. The talk will demonstrate some of Lily's capabilities, show some of the design and code behind Lily and briefly explain future intentions.
