Kinetic User Interfaces

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kinetic User Interfaces[1] (KUIs) are an emerging kind of user interfaces that allow users to interact with computing devices though the motion of objects and bodies.

Instances of KUI are, for instance, Tangible Interface, motion-aware games such as Wii and Sony's EyeToy, and other interactive projects[2].

KUI is also related to a new interaction design pattern focused on activities[3] and to incidental interaction[4].
