CE IMPACTS
"Microsoft's Kinect Technology" discusses frameworks for body motion
detection, which is a necessity for a natural user interface within a computing
environment, with Microsoft's Kinect
technology as a specific example.

SPECIAL SECTION
This special section, "Advanced Interaction and Virtual/Augmented Reality,"
is the second part of selected articles
in virtual/augmented reality (Part I
was published in the March 2018
issue). I would like to thank the guest
editor for his hard work on this strong,
special section.
