About the Group
Natural User Interface or ~ NUI Group is an interactive media group researching and creating open source machine sensing techniques to benefit artistic and educational applications. We like making things tangible...
We offer a collaborative environment for developers that are interested in learning and sharing new HCI (Human Computer Interaction) methods and concepts. This may include topics such as: augmented reality, voice/handwriting/gesture recognition, touch computing, computer vision, and information visualization.
Getting started is easy, simply register as a member, and start collaborating with us.
Our current focus is "Open Source Interface", which is solely for accelerating development of existing hardware and sensing solutions, Thus allowing us to find the cheapest and most effective ways to construct our input devices. This project is truly amazing, which attracts a variety of people from around the globe.
One very important aspect of this project is to create and utilize open standards that allows software development to flourish. For example, we use the TUIO protocol, which is the standard for tabletop communication. Another crucial standard that must be created in an open environment is "Gesture Standards", which allows for fluid interaction across input devices.
You can get in touch with us; via email at mail@nuigroup.com or on IRC in #nuigroup on irc.freenode.net . Our doors are always open and looking for new people with similar interests and dreams. After all... Community is more powerful than money or technology.
