Speech, touch, and now gesture are becoming everyday control methods for our machines. What is next on the horizon of user interaction? Tobii would like that to be the gaze of your eye. I met Anders Olsson at CES this year and asked him to stop by next time he was in Redmond. He showed up with prototype laptop hardware showing how Eyetrack technology can be used in portable consumer devices. We talk about the technology and look at the laptop, a desktop monitor aimed toward researchers, and an after-market add-on bar that might one day connect to your existing monitor.

Natural User Interface, or NUI, is one of the favourite flavours du jour in certain interaction design and user experience circles. On the one hand, the term signals a change from the Graphical User Interace, or GUI, that has been prevalent since the early 1980s. In many ways, that is good. Not that the GUI is going to go away (any more than the QWERTY keyboard, I predict). But progress does, as they say, progress. And just because there was a great idea that took hold, does not mean that that is all that there is.

But beyond the name, what is this new thing? As far as I can see, the answer depends on who you ask. Ask enough people, and you will see that it can mean anything - which means, by the way, that it might mean nothing. I don’t view it that way. Yes, there are a lot of diverse views. But that also means that there is a lot of diverse conversations accompanying them, and I see that as healthy. Complacency is rarely a worthy aspiration for design. But out of the collective conversations one would hope that there is some convergence - which might be another term for insight or growth.

The purpose of this talk is to throw my own thoughts into the fray - for better or for worse. Taking my cue from the term itself, I’ll start like a good naturalist, and strip the term bare, and build from there. Starting with diving into the essence of the term natural.

Microsoft is rolling out many technologies that map into NUIs, including Windows 7 Touch, Windows Phone 7 and the soon to be released Kinect for XBOX. But with this new concept in how humans should “naturally” interact with software, what does NUI actually mean?

 

In this interview, Tanagram Partners explore a real-world approach to building a NUI, starting with a detailed storyboard for a real-world app. This video is technology agnostic, but really paints the possibilities of what “natural” really means in Natural User Interfaces.

Previously covered on Channel 9 as part of the TechFest 2010 coverage we invited the Project Gustav guys back into the studio for a deeper dive into what they've built, why they chose to build it and what makes this experience so different from other tablet-based painting applications.

More on Project Gustav: Project Gustav is a realistic painting-system prototype that enables artists to become immersed in the digital painting experience. It achieves interactivity and realism by leveraging the computing power of modern GPUs, taking full advantage of multitouch and tablet input technology and our novel natural media-modeling and brush-simulation algorithms. Project Gustav is a great example of how Microsoft's research efforts are leading to exciting new technologies to support creativity.

Surface and Project Natal are two examples. While these modalities rely on sensors and devices situated in the environment, we believe there is a need for new modalities that enhance the mobile experience. We take advantage of sensing technologies that enable us to decode the signals generated by the body. We will demo muscle-computer interfaces, electromyography-based armbands that sense muscular activation directly to infer finger gestures on surfaces and in free space, and bio-acoustic interfaces, mechanical sensors on the body that enable us to turn the entire body into a tap-based input device. 154 http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/TechFest2010/Natural-User-Interfaces-with-Physiological-Sensing Tue, 02 Mar 2010 21:45:00 GMT http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/TechFest2010/Natural-User-Interfaces-with-Physiological-Sensing TechFest TechFest 3 http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/TechFest2010/Natural-User-Interfaces-with-Physiological-Sensing/RSS Microsoft Research NUI TechFest Craig Mundie shows off the future of NUI Craig Mundie, to discuss how science and information technology can solve the worlds biggest problems.
