Portable and ubiquitous computing devices\, 3D printers and micro aerial vehicles are just an example of this growing trend – their fast reach and penetration to the market has created an abun dance of data which users have now literally at their fingertips. It is cl ear that the old desktop interaction paradigm (i.e.\, mouse+keyboard) is r apidly becoming obsolete\, and new forms of interaction are required. Like wise\, the computational power at our hands has never been bigger\, and th is opens up exciting research possibilities which only few years ago seeme d unreachable. In my research\, I am interested in understanding how peopl e will interact with data in the future\, and how machines can help users to accomplish strongly specialized\, and often critical\, tasks.In the fir st part of the talk\, I will give an overview of the research group I am c urrently part of\, the Advanced Interactive Technologies lab (AIT) at ETH Zurich\, led by Prof. Otmar Hilliges. I will introduce some of the project s conducted within the group\, including works related to gesture recognit ion for mobile devices\, computational design and micro aerial vehicles co ntrol.I will then introduce a project in which we explored the possibility to detect in-air gestures around unmodified portable devices\, to complem ent the well know touch-based interaction paradigm [1\, 2].  The project f ocuses on developing a novel machine-learning gesture recognition pipeline which is capable of detecting a variety of gestures and rough hand distan ce to the camera\, from a single RGB-camera input.Finally\, I will conclud e my talk with an overview of a project focused on an interface that prese nts large\, unstructured collections of videos\, arranged in their origina l context and sorted in time [3]. With our tool\, we extended the focus+co ntext paradigm to create a video-collections+context interface by embeddin g videos captured with mobile devices into a panorama. We built a spatio-t emporal index and tools for fast exploration of the space and time of the video collection\, helping users in navigating otherwise unstructured coll ections of videos.BioDr. Fabrizio Pece is currently a postdoctoral researc her (Marie Curie Fellow) at ETH Zurich\, working with Prof. Otmar Hilliges  in the Advanced Interactive Technologies lab at the Institute of Pervasiv e Computing. Prior to joining ETH\, he was a PhD student at University Col lege London (2010 -- 2014)\, where he earned his doctoral degree in the Vi rtual Environment and Computer Graphics group\, under the supervision of P rof. Jan Kautz. Dr. Pece earned his BSc in Computer Science from Universit à degli Studi di Roma Torvergata\, Italy (2008) and his MSc in Vision and Virtual Environment from University College London\, UK (Distinction\, 200 9). Between June and October 2010\, he has completed an internship at Disn ey Research Zurich under the supervision of Prof. Jan Kautz and Prof. Wojc iech Matusik\, working in the area of digital fabrication.
