Rapid Acceleration of

Intuitive Technology

The Big Ideas

• NUI-natural user interfaces allow students to interact with material in much more natural fashion

• Intuitive ways to interact with the internet and unlimited knowledge provide perfect environment for open ended, and informal, exploration

Haptics

• The coolest advance in technology you’ve never heard about

• Allows users to feel textures such as rubber, silk, edges, etc.

• Interactions with content on a touchscreen provide information to a sense not often seen in class

Beyond the GUI

• Current model of interaction is limited to our ability to navigate

• CUI-conversational user interface allows you to talk with your computer in a conversational manner. (think Siri, Dragon, etc.)

• Combines speech recognition with understanding of intention, not just transcription to fulfil commands.

Interactive Technology

• User interfaces that allow you to manipulate content exactly how you want

• Virtual technology as a classroom tool could allow students to interact with material in a lifelike manner.
