This paper introduces the Laboratory of Technologies for Interaction (LaTIn) and briefly describes its current main projects. The main focus of LaTIn has been developing new ways of human-machine interaction using computer vision techniques. The projects are categorized according to the distance between the human user and the machine being operated. For close distances, appropriate for interaction with desktop computers for example, we have developed eye-gaze based interfaces. For mid range distances, we have built hand and body gestures interfaces that are appropriate for virtual and augmented reality settings and, for large distances, we have developed novel multiple people tracking techniques that have been used for surveillance and monitoring applications.
