Fitzgibbon went to school at Coláiste Chríost Rí in Cork, and then studied Computer Science and Mathematics (Joint Honours) at University College, Cork, graduating in 1989. He pursued a one-year Masters' in Knowledge-based Systems at Heriot-Watt University. Rather than start a PhD, he began work as a research assistant at the Department of Artificial Intelligence, University of Edinburgh, writing computer programs for 3D shape modelling and 3D scanning.[1] In 1992 he registered for a part-time PhD, which was awarded in 1997.[2]
In 2005, he moved to Microsoft Research, and began work on human body tracking, and later contributed to the group development of the machine learning component of the human motion capture software in the Kinect system.[3][6] This group work was honoured with the MacRobert Award of the Royal Academy of Engineering for Microsoft Cambridge team in 2011.[7]
