Sorry for the late reply, but I've been taking some time off. Yay.

As to your enquiry, it never actually occurred to me that my old past
in the high-tech security industry would have much relevance to
everything HCI, but it certainly is interesting in what can be
automagically extracted from live and still images.

As for myself, I left that industry over 8 years ago. Maybe I should
dig up some old contacts and tell them about emerging markets? :)
