Vito Gentile
About Me
My name is Vito Gentile, and I am a Research Fellow at the University of Palermo (Italy), and at the University of Hertfordshire (UK), focusing my current research in Human-Computer Interaction and Ubiquitous Computing.
I received my PhD in 2017 with a thesis titled "Designing Touchless Gestural Interfaces for Public Displays". My current research interests focus on the design of touchless gestural interfaces, pervasive displays applications and multimodal emotion recognition.
