Redefining Natural User Interface

This SIG focuses on new definitions of Natural User Interface (NUI). With the adoption of wearable devices, VR & AR displays, affective computing, and voice user interface, we think it’s necessary to review our understanding and definition of NUI. This SIG aims to expand discussion and development related to NUI in two areas: first, what experience should NUIs achieve today? How can we build UIs to leverage other senses besides vision and hearing such as tactility, olfaction and gustation? Second, how can we detect, capture and compute people’s behavioral signals in a natural way and provide output accordingly? What are the current available technologies to achieve NUIs, and what new technologies should be invented to achieve it?
