Natural User Interfaces in Mobile Phone Interaction
Workshop on Natural User Interfaces at CHI 2010, Atlanta, Georgia, USA, April 10, 2010. (bib)

User interfaces for mobile devices move away from mainly button- and menu- based interaction styles and towards more direct techniques, involving rich sensory input and output. The recently proposed concept of Natural User Interfaces (NUIs) provides a way to structure the discussion about these developments. We examine how two-sided and around-device interaction, gestural input, and shape- and weight-based output can be used to create NUIs for mobile devices. We discuss the applicability of NUI properties in the context of mobile interaction.
