Biography

Dingyun is a science graduate from the Ningbo University, China and holds a masters degree from the Australian National University (ANU). He is now working towards a PhD on a collaborative project between CSIRO and ANU, which is under the Minerals Down Under (MDU) National Research Flagship. His research is addressing the design and evaluation of natural interaction enhanced user interfaces for remote control of complex machinery - particularly for mining teleoperations. Examples of natural interaction modes include human eye gaze, head motion, and gestures. Augmenting traditional control interfaces (which use input devices such as joysticks, keyboards and mice) with these natural interaction modes offer the possibility of creating machine control interfaces that are easier to learn, and provide more effective control of complex machinery than traditional systems.
