Abstract
Traditional methods of interacting with a desktop computer are the mouse and keyboard, while other techniques such as voice recognition and free-form gestures have been in the realm of science fiction movies like “”Minority Report”” and “”Iron Man””. Advances in input technologies in recent years have made these input modalities not only possible but commercially viable, allowing for creation of a more Natural User Interface (NUI). This presentation will cover techniques for integrating voice, gestures, and facial recognition into a single desktop application. Several available technologies will be discussed and a case study provided of a successful implementation.
