Welcome to the uNUI Group! We are a small group who have decided to explore the realm of multi-touch interfaces as an extension of the NUI Group community. As we learn about the intricacies of building our own multi-touch devices, we will be documenting as much as we can on this website to help others through sharing of our experiences.

We are unsure of our future and the path we will find—it may revolve around building hardware and different devices, it may be primarily based in developing interface software and applications—we don’t know yet where our interests will lead us. Though, it is clear to us and many others that this is the future, that computers will relatively soon lose the cumbersome and disjointed interface of manipulating one pointer on an X-Y axis. The future of computer interaction will be multi-touch, sensitive to pressures and flow, multi-user, and much more intuitive—hence, a Natural User Interface.

There is a fun and informative online community that is constantly growing as more interest picks up in multi-touch research. To see some of the great sites and technologies we’ve come across, visit our Resources page.
