Wow, congratulations. Fingers crossed on you discovering something so groundbreaking you change the way we all live =o

What career are you going for out of interest?

I want a job in research to be honest, I like research, it's something I find extremely interesting, I get very involved in it. A PhD is pretty much the logical stepping stone into that area. My father is the head of research and development for one of the largest companies in the UK and he earns a lot of money (a very good 6 figure salary), I suppose he is my inspiration really because he really enjoys his job too.

A Northern University? I dunno...

Midlands Universities FTW!

It's an in joke that me and SamuelRSmith have going, anyway...

You're Warwick aren't you? I like Warwick, I was considering doing a masters there once. A very fine University indeed.

Do you like math?

Maths (the "s" is important lol).

I wish, I'm good at Maths, but I'm not great. If I enjoyed Maths I would be doing a more "pure science" like Physics or... er... Maths lol.

Sorry... LOL, I'm not even sure why I asked that question. When I think PhD, I often think differential equations.

I'm researching human interaction with virtual objects. My eventual goal is to produce a system where a person can control and interact with objects a virtual environment. I will look to make a visual recognition system of some variety (I have a lot of good ideas of how to do that), that will be able to capture the persons details and physique and track their points of interaction so that they can interact within a 3D virtual environment. Imagine a CGI cartoon but with a real person walking around and interacting with the objects in the scene, live. I think the project is very interesting, I can wait to get it started...

So, something like Natal?

Yes, kind of, you understand anyway. I would explain the differences, but I think I'll be here all night lol.
