      I’ve made some software for measuring objects in images automatically, and some programs to build 3D models using a Kinect :o) I don’t really make hardware, but we do often make new computer programs.

      I think writing software like this is cool, because its trying to solve a very hard problem; that is, trying to replicate how our brain figures out that signals from the eye relate to things we know, like people and cars. Ever thought about how some light hitting your eye gets recognised by your brain as the face of someone you know? Interesting stuff, bordering on psychology and philosophy!
