Voice User Interface (VUI)

Since the ‘Put That There‘ video presentation by Chris Schmandt in 1979, voice recognition has yet to meet with a revolutionary kind of success. The most recent hype over VUI has got to be Siri, a personal assistant application which is incorporated into Apple’s iOS. It uses a natural language user interface for its voice recognition function to perform tasks exclusively on Apple devices.


   


However you also see it as the supporting act in other user interface technologies like Google Glass itself. Glass works basically like a smartphone, only you don’t have to hold it up and interact with it with your fingers. Instead it clings to you as eyewear and receives your commands via voice control.



The only thing that is lacking now in VUI is the reliability of recognizing what you say. Perfect that and it will be incorporated into user interfaces of the future. At the rate that smartphones capabilities are expanding and developing now, it’s just a matter of time before VUI takes centre stage as the primary form of human-computer interaction for any computing system.

Sensor Network User Interface (SNUI) Here’s an example of a fluid UI where you have multiple compact tiles made up of color LCD screens, in-built accelerometers and IrDA infrared transceivers that are able to interact with one another when placed in close proximity . Let’s make this simple. It’s like Scrabble tiles that have screens which will change to reflect data when placed next to each other.   As you shall see in this demo video of Siftables , users can physically interact with the tiles by tilting, shaking, lifting and bumping it with other similar tiles. These tiles can serve as a highly interactive learning tool for young children who can receive immediate reactions to their actions. SNUI is also great for simple puzzle games where gameplay includes shifting and rotating tiles to win. Then there’s also the ability to sort images physically by grouping these tiles together according to your preferences. It is a more crowd-enabled TUI; instea...

                        Augmented Reality has already gotten into our life in the forms of simulated experiment and education app, but Google is taking it several steps higher with Google Glass . Theoretically, with Google Glass, you are able to view social media feeds, text, Google Maps, as well as navigate with GPS and take photos. You will also get the latest updates while you are on the ground.  It’s truly what we called vision, and it’s absolutely possible given the fact that the Google’s co-founder, Sergey Brin has demo’ed the glass with skydivers and creatives. Currently the device is only available to some developers with the price tag of $1500, but expect other tech companies trying it out and building an affordable consumer version.
