About

Alexander Marinc is a researcher focused on advancing intuitive human-computer interaction within intelligent environments, with a particular emphasis on gestural and pointing-based interfaces. His major contributions lie in addressing the critical challenge of offset between perceived and actual pointing direction in realistic settings, which often hinders reliable selection of reactive elements. Marinc developed a visual support system that provides real-time feedback to users, significantly improving accuracy and usability in gesture-driven interactions. His most-cited work, "Visual support system for selecting reactive elements in intelligent environments" (2012, 7 citations), along with subsequent studies on robot-supported pointing (2014, 3 citations) and enhanced visual feedback (2013, 5 citations), collectively demonstrate his systematic approach to bridging the gap between human intent and system response. By integrating robotic assistance and visual cues, Marinc's research lays foundational groundwork for more seamless, responsive smart spaces, making his work particularly relevant for students and researchers exploring ambient intelligence, human-robot collaboration, and multimodal interaction design.
