This talk about the importance of increasing research activity around natural user interactions or NUI. At Microsoft External Research we are working to identify the key areas that will bring about the best long term change to facilitate, improve and enhance human computing interactions whether they are for education, information worker, home use, scientific discovery or some combination thereof. We see this as a long term goal that will require increased activity in user study, infrastructure and hardware/software development as it cuts across our other research initiatives. The talk will center on collated feedback received from industry, academia, and perceived user needs, mainly in the scientific community. ==================================================================== Kristin M.
